Lawdwaz Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Have any maple trees in your area? Damn......................in my area they are doing wonderful, looks like some of the best growers have some real nice looking 5"-7" seedlings sprouting from their gutters. My current crop of gutter trees isn't doing real good, looks like I'll have to keep my real job and forgo my dream of being a tree farmer.

GreeneHunter Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Those little helicopters fly anywhere and love the Gutters ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) 2 silver maple in my front yard,damn helicopters everywhere. My trick is I hook up a piece of pvc pipe to the shop vac with a couple 90s at the end fit loosely, it takes me 20 minutes to walk around the house and vacuum the gutters out ,the best part is the clean up afterwards, there is none.

ants Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I just cleaned the little sprouts out of my gutters Thursday morning. They grow like crazy. I pulled out an old nasty tennis ball, that one of the kids must have tossed up there, and it had sprouts growing on it !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) We had a massive 85-90' silver maple in ny back yard that thing caused all sorts of foundation and other problems we had it taken down a few years ago you could see this tree from almost anywhere in north buffalo. Some times when I bring the work truck him ill go up in the bucket and clean out the neighbors fire a couple times a year last year so I wouldn't have to hear the water pouring out of the sides of it Edited June 27, 2015 by Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
