Hi;
have both trees and wires.  If I ever go house hunting again will ask lots

90 feet.  Just right for my back yard.  I don't have electric wire
problems, but I do have a large portion of the yard blocked with
trees.  Still 90 feet of back yard is more than is typically found in most
city lots, so I consider myself fortunate.
