Want to keep the tree for your benefit?
According to the Bartlett Arboretum, you can remove, chip and use your tree’s branches as mulch in your own garden! Or you can use the tree as a base for your compost pile. For best results, use the needles for mulch. Then, cut the branches into small pieces, so they turn into compost faster.
