    Last Saturday I answered a listing on Offer Up by a tree service. Got 2 truck and trailer loads of cut sugar maple.

    Today we started on this mulberry. This was 2 hours cutting progress, had to double handle the wood and pile it so we had room to get the trailer in to load. We possibly could have had it all cut but poison ivy all over the lower trunks so we decided to get it all off with a rake before finishing up cutting the remaining trunk.

    some nice wood you scored. Blasted poison ivy. Common on a lot of the roadside wood i get. Luckily if i get it only a small rash on my forearms that goes away in a week.
    Looking forward to the pics of the cherry!
    Hoard on and be safe.

    That is a huge Mulberry, they don't grow that big here. Mostly fencerow, brushy and scrubby type of growth for us.
