Delavan is a grain town on the flat, where the elevator lights come on at dusk in October and every farmstead's trees read like an island from the road. Bree Tree Care keeps those islands sound — pruning the crown of a yard oak, trimming the low limbs off a machine shed and a drive wide enough for a combine. Central Illinois wind does not negotiate, so a leaning trunk is removed before it develops an opinion about the house. After a storm the work runs from the road to the back fence until the place is squared away again. Out here shade is something somebody planted on purpose, and it earns the care it gets.
