I don’t know. It was a garden tree, about five tall, but it was very well manicured, and somebody, at some point had built supports for it to lean on (which isn’t uncommon here). I would think that somebody would’ve wanted to buy it. I don’t really know, though.

Based on the way they didn’t damage the garden at all while tearing down the house, I got the thought In my head that the reason was they wanted to spare all the great trees that were growing there. That was a big misinterpretation;-/
