That tree

Yesterday (Sept. 19) I was driving on Route 841 at Chapel Road and spotted some heavy equipment atop the hill at the former site of That Tree, the beloved lone hickory that toppled over in June after a heavy windstorm. Workers were removing the remaining roots, which had been sticking up, and digging out the crater left by the root ball. Will the landowner, Dick Hayne, plant a replacement? We're hoping so.
