This Missouri couple move to Maine (summer home) and start messing around with the trees and property of a very established Maine family. As in LL Bean.
Townies vs arriviste interlopers.
She put it at the bottom of two oak trees she ‘believed to be dying’: they were not on her land,
It’s too bad they couldn’t catch them in the act and let their guns do the talking.
I read out the headline and my brother guessed what this was without even reading the story.
Spraying to kill trees to improve their view.
I’ve seen this in Vancouver, Ottawa and in the Victoria area. And it is always entitled rich douches doing this stuff.
tebuthiuron kills every kind of plant, big or small, migrates in the soil because it’s water soluble and has a half life in the soil of ONE YEAR!
this stuff is the latter day equivalent of salting the earth ...
definitely bad juju ...
Did she go to the University of Alabama? Bama fans have been known to kill trees.
Leon Gorman and Lisa Gorman
My family knew the Gormans when I was growing up in the 1970s in Yarmouth Maine. He was a member of the Troop Committee of my boy scout troop and we got new tents and other equipment from LL Beans on a regular basis.
In his 30 years at the helm, Leon grew L.L.Bean from a struggling $4.75 million catalog company to an over-one-billion-dollar multichannel leader in the outdoor industry.
I believe he lived in the same house on Portland Street in Yarmouth that he lived in the 1970s until his death in 2015*. I did not know him in his later life. He was quite liberal and pushed Beans to support several liberal causes while his cousin Linda Bean has used her wealth to push conservative causes including a congressional run. She runs a restaurant directly across the street from the flagship store called the Maine Kitchen & Topside Tavern.
* The Camden house is probably a summer place.
Use Copper Sulfate — available on Amazon and at many hardware stores — to kill anything, at root level.
She didn’t think they were dying. They were in her way of an open view to the water. She did it on purpose and thought she’s get away with it.
Dumbass best describes any neighbor who monkeys with my property...
Subject properties at 1 and 3 Metcalf Rd, Camden, Maine.
What kind of terrible person would actually go to all that trouble to actually kill someone else’s trees?
So, for $215,000 she got the job done. Probably increased the property value by $1M, due to the nice view.
Costly up front, but they’ll win in the end.
I had some black walnut trees, a valuable, beautiful wood, that Rice County, KS tore out because they were within their 30 foot right-of-way along a gravel road. No notification, nothing. The county even took the trees. I measured, those trees were forty feet from the center of the road. I don’t think I’ve ever been as angry in my life. Bastards killed my old growth walnut trees. What are my squirrels going to eat?
Nobody would of thought of doing something like this in the West Virginia of years ago. Mess with your neighbors, get your place burned down.
Meanwhile, in the real world, people are trying to buy groceries, gas and keep the lights on.
