On January 14th we had our monkey pod tree trimmed back from over our deck and house. We have a flock of around 20 wild turkeys the like to roost in our tree each night. But, unfortunately, they also leave quite a mess from their droppings before they leave each morning. So, we decided to have our tree cut back quite extensively to avoid this occurrence each morning. Though the tree looks a little bare, we are grateful for a clean deck once again.
