If you don’t have Hack, you don’t have jack.
Here is what the railroad company does to trees that grow too close to the tracks. Every couple of years they come by with a giant “tree wacker” and obliterate whatever they can reach. These pretty Soap Berry trees are wacked, but they didn’t reach the Hackberry trees. Hackberry trees are Texas sized weeds and somehow they seem to plant themselves right on the fence line. So our only buffer from train noise once again is the stinkin’ Hackberries. Supposed to be a drainage easement back there too, but over the years it has filled up with debris from the railroad property - wack it down and leave it. Sheesh.
