We had to cut down a huge Prunus serotina tree that threatened our tiny house. It turns out that moose love the twigs and can now reach them, so we have a guest. 1/

@Szescstopni I knew about moose in Poland, but Prunus serotina was new to me. It's interesting that it grows as large trees like in their native area, NA.

In Germany, according to Wikipedia, it normally grows as a shrub.

@tg9541 That's one of those things that helps us to question established wisdom :) They're an invasive species here wino natural enemies worth mentioning so we didn't really worry about cutting it down. This one was about 30 yo.
@Szescstopni no natural enemies besides the moose, of course 😉
@tg9541 As I wrote, they're not worth mentioning :) They really don't have much impact. But we did find some mushrooms that help us to get rid of them, so there's hope.
