is there a safety issue when trees grow this close together? (black cherry? and water oak)
eventually something has to give, right?

I want a solid fence here to help keep leaves from blowing into the stairwell.
English ivy, Japanese honeysuckle, porcelain berry, vinca, poison ivy (native, but undesirable)… pic 3 is a good example of what i was dealing with. almost totally gone. I can’t wait to replant.
edit: some chinese privet in the last photo, too. i took out a bunch of trees/shrubs that had clearly been cut down many times but never treated.
how long ago do you think the point of no return to remove the rack passed?
