    Some work to do.

    I had shown this clump of soft maple to several folks at the GTG but don't remember who all saw it. I'm pretty sure that Chvymn99 was one and we looked at this before the GTG. So one of them fell.

    Yea... that was the one that split from the time we went into the timber and came back out... much safer when Mother Nature’s winds takes care of the job like that...

    Oh yeah. Those 50 mph winds can do some work too.

    Its nice when the wind does take it down and hopefully it’s far away from your houses as possible. Here mostly trees uproot themselves unless they are weak and do snap but it depends onthe exposure

    Reminds me of the one we took down at my GTG! Looks like yours is an anthill too. Dang those things can get nasty when they grow in clumps like that!

    I remember that Shawn. Especially with you on that stump and then taking a dive! Sure wish I could have taken a video of that one.

    I don't think this one has ants in it but we'll soon find out .
