The time had to come for the demise of our largest tree. It had begun dropping its limbs at totally unexpected times. The last full limb to fall happened on a windless day and damaged the fence lying across it into our neighbour's property. So it had to go. One of these days it might drop a limb on either our roof or our neighbour's. The tree's horizontal branches reached out over both houses. Another time a branch took out our cloths line. Peter heard a "whoosh" sound and found the wreckage under a huge branch that took him days to chop up with a rotary power saw. (See earlier blog) The tree lopper agreed that this particular gum tree would act unpredictably like this, and more so as it grew bigger. RIP Gum-tree.
Some of the lumber for Gord to pic up when he drops in next. Heavy pieces.
Plenty of mulch for our garden later on
We already have a good replacement tree growing a few metres from the stump, and can be seen top right of the picture just above.
