Buh-bye

Hetz Midget Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Midget').
It doesn’t provide privacy.
It’s not particularly beautiful.
It doesn’t attract pollinators.
It’s lopsided.
So it came out today.
It only took about an hour and a half to get it completely out of the ground. In a few days, I will plant milkweed seeds.

I'm not fond of arborvitae

@randystreat Thank you! They're okay — low maintenance — but there other plants to "install" for any number of purposes or functions!
