Thomas Henderson, a resident of Atascadero, CA, has finally thrown in the towel in his long-standing war against the orange tree in his backyard. What once seemed like a great addition to his property has turned into a source of frustration and bitter fruit.

When Thomas first bought his home, the orange tree seemed like a blessing. His kids were young and they would eat some of the oranges, even though they were sour and tasteless, and it was easy for him to give out the extra oranges to his kids’ families. But now that the kids have grown up and moved out, the tree has become a constant reminder of the war Bob has been fighting – in the form of piles of overripe and rotting oranges littering the ground.

Thomas tried bagging up and giving the oranges away but the oranges were so tasteless and sour that nobody wanted them. He tried to throw them into his green waste bin to get rid of his mess but it was a never-ending battle of filling it week after week. The tree only continued to yield an overwhelming harvest of oranges, which Thomas simply did not want. He was stuck in a never-ending cycle of fruit and frustration.

Finally, after years of this bitter war, Thomas decided to put an end to it and hired a tree removal service to get rid of the tree once and for all. When asked about his decision, Thomas had this to say: “I’ve loved that tree for a long time, but it’s time to say goodbye. I’m tired of the war between me and the tree, and I want my yard back.”

So if you see a tree removal truck in Thomas’s neighborhood, don’t be surprised. He’s finally putting an end to the bitter orange tree and its endless supply of sour fruit.
