In Babylon the wind arrives off the Great South Bay with salt in it, and the village sycamores and pin oaks all grow leaning a little away from the water. CM Tree Service works that south-shore edge: tree trimming and pruning to thin a crown so a nor'easter passes through it instead of taking it whole, removals on the narrow lots between the canals. Autumn storms come up the coast and put limbs down from Argyle Lake to the ferry docks, and storm damage cleanup has them cut and gone before the tide turns twice. An oak that stands through a blow usually does it because somebody thought about it back in September. Babylon, West Babylon, North Babylon, Lindenhurst, Copiague and Amityville are all in the run.
