A good friend of mine, a Scotsman no less, had an old walnut tree go down in his yard. It was covered in poison ivy. He is not terribly allergic to it but his wife is and has been to the ER before from it.
Now my wife and I are pretty much unaffected by it so we went over and helped clear it off of the tree and took it up to some family land where we can dump it on an unused hillside. The first load filled up my truck bed.
shortly after this, he got covid so he's been down for a couple of weeks. I was over last night dropping off a swarm tram and hive as he is in an area with a lot of bee friendly habitat and also to see how much more poison ivy was left to drag off to the hill.
There are several vines that are easily as big as my forearm. Last night, I started counting the rings on one of them and it was at least 25 years old. These things are monsters and he has a couple more on dead trees that need to be addressed as well.
For all to enjoy...
