We called this tree 'Sage's climbing tree.' He has spent many hours up in the branches over the past 6 months. He had even pimped it out with boards to climb up and to sit on, old screens for privacy, ropes for additional climbing assistance, boxes for his treasures, and even nailed a sign on it listing the members of his tree club. It was quite a sight--kind of Blair Witchy. It was his own special place until recently we got a threatening letter from our evil neighborhood association claiming it was "unsightly." We had to take down his tree house and Sage was very upset. But now he is devastated. We are trying to comfort him and help him deal with his grief. We had the tree men cut a section of the tree so we could make a remembrance plaque to hang in his room. I know he was emotionally attached to the tree but I just hope he doesn't turn into one of these people in this video, because these people are just asking to be smacked repeatedly.

I feel sorry for Sage, and I know he's hurting. :-(
AAAAAAAAAHHHH, WHY DID THE TREE HAVE TO DIE?!?!?
Whew, sorry, I kind of was one with the dead tree for a moment.
poor lil sage.... is there another tree in your yard that he could build on?
as for that video.
WTF crying ove trees?
whata buncha fuckin morons!
I'm a tree hugger, but not to that extent. I am kinda embarrassed for them... that's over the top to us, but it's very real to them..
anyway, I am sorry for Sage's loss-that tree represented a lot of great times for him and it'll be hard to get over..just thank God none of you were physically hurt :)
Freakin' hippies. I hate hippies. Of all the crap that goes on toward people and they are concerned about trees.
Sorry about Sage's tree. That's like taking away a kid's playground.
