Isn’t there some kind of sponge tree or something they could plant in turns? I think they grow in the Amazon. Science should be working on a way to make them survive winter here.
Sad Lose.
Car VS Fence you may have a chance but Car VS Tree of any size and you lose big everytime. They just don’t budge an inch. Almost every bad curve in Central Ohio has a scarred up tree still standing from winning the battle of cars vs trees.
