<p>This Monday, Oct. 4, 2010 photo released by Jennifer Forker shows Jon Elliott of Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape Care, left, as he talks with Kemper Smith about the aspen trees growing too close to his Golden, Colo., home. "I never thought they'd get that big," Smith said. The trees are healthy, so they'll keep growing -- up to three times taller, Elliott said. He suggested that Smith prune the trees.</p>
