One of my favourite trees. I bought my folks one in 1970 and it's the only one I know that size that still has branches all the way down to the ground

 

That’s only because you have never had to fell one, you would quickly learn to hate them :thumbdown:

 

Think Rottweiler with a bad attitude and toothache

Most rotties are sweet deep down...a shot of dexdomitor/torb and it'll roll right over but getting the tooth out might need an alveolar resection.

 

In tree terms that'd be wrap it in canvas, dig round and cut roots on one side and drag the sucker out of the ground with a tractor:biggrin::lol:
