    Its not split yet, clearly. But to minimize it being on the ground and off the wet ground I stack it like that just temporarily.

    He also wants me to drop this Sugar Maple too...., you can see that it has multiple trunks...split at the base 20200816_140659.jpg But, as you can see he has a "doll house", as he called it, and his camper trailer. I dont think I want to do anything there until these are moved

    That second maple was once a stump, that was never pruned as suckers began to grow. That’s why there are multiple trunks coming from the bottom.
