Magnolia Tree

When we  first moved to this house there were many things I loved about it. It has the cutest little sun room right off the kitchen, and the man-cave for Rob downstairs. We loved the little oasis in the backyard. In surveying the area, we noticed this big overgrown bush-like tree in the front. It stood beyond the roof, and Rob has hated it from day one. It really had outgrown the landscaping. Not really adding to the looks of the front. The tree had lost lower limbs and was not aesthetically pretty. But its a Magnolia! You know southern trees, with  aromatic blossoms. Can't we save this old tree? It's been a battle for eight years. What  would Dolly Parton  Shirley McClaine and Sally Fields do?
