    Default Pine Tree on the boundary

    I assisted with the removal of this pine in a friend's backyard a couple of weeks ago. As you can see it was planted right on the boundary. I was able to cut some nice billets from the but for carving blanks. I took the top down with a cherry picker then fell the stump above the fence into the backyard. Plenty of obstacles but thankfully no mishaps.
    cheers

    Looks like the fence was buried in the tree at some stage! Just guessing at Macrocarpa

    I think it's a macrocarpa.
    One neighbour decided to back his new ute out of that shed behind the tree. I didn't argue.
    They both helped cart the wood away and we celebrated with a stubby. Certainly let the light into the backyard. I have a nifty lift 170 that makes the job easier.
