Me and my gm took out 6 80 plus foot trees with no equipment access today. 4 Kentucky coffee trees and 2 Bl locust. All of them around 14" dbh and bending all over the place with me in the top. New 100k pool renovation less than 10 feet from the row of them on one side and a brand new fence less than 5 feet away on the other side.

Half way down was the pole to pole service that they refused to drop even tho I asked for a pole to pole drop and they only sent one dude. Did get them to turn power off by clipping wire at transformer with a huge pole clipper. Below elect was a tin phone main and also phone, cable.

Got em all to where I don't have to turn off elect tomorrow. Builder had HO call me until after 1. they cut major roots 2. they had tore out old pool and rebuilt it. 3. they put up brand new fence.

Ho didn't even want me to withdraw their brand new "thousand dollar" auto pool cover, but I insisted and glad I did.

Sometimes I'd rather climb the 100 ft plus trees if they got some meat on the stems unlike these fkn bean poles today.

PS....anybody know if Coffeetree is any good firewood?

 

[treeslayer]

I think its the same as catalpa, not too bad, but STINKS. lotta water in it. Tom would know, ??????

And these trees here in the old neighborhoods, are 3' - 4' DBH. or bigger.

don't move at all.


Todd, I'll be in Leesburg thursday, whats up?

 

[fireman]

ya dave they are Chinese elm or piss elm as we like to call them very dangerous trees.

 

[treeslayer]

That's a different tree Tom, he's referring to the ones with the loooong seed pods, like the two I did in Mchenry on the river for John?

ya dave they are Chinese elm or piss elm as we like to call them very dangerous trees.

If that info is for me fireman, thanks.....but these trees are a different than ch. elm although they are brittle like them. They got leaves that would make you think locust but with much more ribbed bark and they got the bean pods. Tore the shat outta my forearms today.
