Storm last night

One of the storms last night blew out the top of a huge Sweet Gum. It didn't fall on the house - it DID fall on a big chunk of garden. Destroyed a 20' Halesia diptera, Clethra alnifolia, a native azalea (can't remember which one), mulberry, Joe Pye, and an Oakleaf Hydrangea. I am in mourning for the Halesia. Yes, I know it didn't damage the house and no one was injured and I am grateful but I have been loving this Silverbell for years and will miss it deeply. And if the Sweet Gum eventually dies, I will lose a great deal of shade which a whole lot of Hellebores, Hosta, Bottlebrush Buckeye, etc depend on. sigh Linda
