We have a birch in our yard that died years ago after a particularly hot/dry Summer. Made us very nervous, since it was tall enough to fall into the house if the wind blew right. Eventually a wind storm knocked the top 10 feet or so off. Now even if it blew towards the house it wouldn't be tall enough to hit the house. Phew!
