On Wednesday morning I got a text that there was some activity going on atop the hill on the north side of Route 841 near Springdell, where that beloved lone hickory stood until it was blown down back in June. I headed over immediately, just in time to see a large sugar maple being slowly raised to an upright position and settled into its new home on the crest of the hill.
The 15-year-old sugar maple, from Tuel & Tingle's nursery in Unionville, was chosen to replace the hickory because it seems hickories don't transplant well. I'm told that the landowner, Dick Hayne of Doe Run Farm, requested the biggest one the nursery had. It was transported to its new home by Gene and Dan Glomb of Glomb Services Inc., using one of those special trucks with giant claws for moving really big trees.
