The Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church in Charlotte
Law students learn that property rights are like a "bundle of sticks." Prior to 1900 there were few limits on what owners could do with their property, so in effect they possessed the whole bundle of sticks. Today, after a century of increasing legal and regulatory restrictions the bundle of sticks remaining to the property owner looks mighty skimpy. Of course, few of us would disagree with denying a landowner the right to dump toxic waste on his property or to build a steel mill on land in the middle of a residential neighborhood. That's a couple of sticks out of the bundle. And few of us would want owners of commercial buildings to retain the right not to provide fire exits or sprinkler systems. Nor would we want a business owner to retain the right to deny service to a black American. That's a few more sticks gone. But in addition to legitimate laws and regulations governing safety, nuisance or racial discrimination, the harried owner of real estate must today contend with hundreds of pages of often arbitrary zoning laws, wetlands laws, open space laws, anti-smoking laws, "green" building laws, disability laws, estate taxes, a wildly expanded concept of eminent domain, and more. And if the land owner is unlucky enough to have on his land a snail darter, or some mosquito with a special hooked tail, thanks to the efforts of the environmentalist Left those critters can take what amounts to nearly full control of the land. An example of this destruction of property rights comes to us from Charlotte, N.C. where the Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church pruned some trees that it had planted on its own property. The city fined the church four thousand dollars for what some bureaucrat deemed 'excessive' pruning. The fine was imposed at the rate of one hundred bucks per branch. Don't misunderstand, I happen to love trees. I've planted hundreds over the decades when working for a landscaper or on property owned by me or friends. Red oaks, white oaks, pin oaks and willow oaks; sugar, silver and red maples; walnut, ash, peach, apple, pear, weeping willow, sycamore, white pine, spruce, and more. I've planted, transplanted and propagated them, and have seen trees I planted over forty years ago become stately, mature beauties. Although I've never hugged a tree I have given more than a few trees an affectionate pat on the trunk.Weeping White Pine - News

Pinus Strobus “Niagra Falls” » Hickory Hollow Landscapers ...
Appearing like a broad, cascading waterfall on a mighty river, this form of weeping white pine is an improvement of the very popular weeping tree often used in commercial and residential landscapes. It is dense and full in appearance, with short inter-nodes and numerous branches; all cascading from the highest point the plant is trained to. Brothers Mike and Ken Yeager of Hickory Hollow Nursery and Garden Center and Hickory Hollow Landscapers at 713 Rt. 17, Tuxedo, NY, found this plant in 1998, near Congers, NY. They sent the scions to Iseli Nursery in Oregon, where it was propagated and recently released to the wholesale trade. Be among the select few to have this handsome broad cascade of white pine in your home landscape!
