The pink laurels are now in bloom. One red laurel that was in the dark due to the holly and pines skipped the bloom stage and went right into new growth once exposed to sunlight. The other red laurel is starting to bloom.

The stalk of the larger tree is now gone. The tops of the trees have been picked up. The area where this debris had scattered was lightly raked, taking care to minimize disturbance to the wild low blueberries and the delicate wintergreen growing there. A lot of pre-existing tree debris, mostly branches blown from other trees was also cleaned up. A lot of the other debris was pine and so obviously not from the trees that were take down. The other stalk is now cut up but has not been moved.
