    You should be OK by mid-October...

    My wife and I actually paid to have the NEIGHBOR'S cottonwood removed. They were about to be foreclosed on, and didn't have the cash to have that dangerous, branch dropping, mess making bastard cut down. It was worth every penny of the grand that we paid, just so we could use our back yard again....

    Hey, we've got a creek and trail system behind our house that's lined with huge cottonwoods. You should see what they do to our window screens! Guess ya just gotta live with it.

    just FYI, the cotton isn't the pollen.

    and those are typically older trees, you have only be able to buy cottonless cottonwoods for 30+ years around here.

    I hope that October comment is a joke!

    It's my neighbors tree, so not much i can do about it. It that fucker blows over i sure hope it goes into his house. It's just a tree, so i'm not mad at them for it, but god damn if it isn't annoying as hell. There are 2 broken branches hanging over the fence that is also all fucked up from the roots so i'm hoping one breaks off and crushes the fence so he can replace it!

    I have two giant, over 60' tall, cottonwoods between my house and the nieghbors house. I want them gone so bad but can't afford it right now. I have huge limbs just hanging over my house and I can only wash my truck twice a year because those f*#king tress drop sap then the cotton sticks...it's like tar and feathering my truck everyday. Also, the roots are coming up and part of my driveway has buckeled severely that it all has to be replaced.
