The Kalamazoo River takes its slow bend through Galesburg beneath silver maples that have been leaning over the water longer than the highway has been there. Plue's Tree Service works this Kalamazoo County river town and the farm ground on both sides of I-94. Tree removal, tree trimming, and pruning fill the calendar: the riverbank cottonwood that finally undercut itself, the yard maple that needs a crown thinned rather than topped, the young tree shaped early so it never becomes anybody's problem. Storm damage cleanup means the calls that arrive in a bunch after a July cell parks over the valley. A clean cut, a lawn you can mow the next morning, and shade where it is wanted — that is the whole ambition.
