    The princess tree that is. Being as the tree service cut the rounds at 10-12" I started making a bunch of short splits. During one split stroke I had a visually epiphany and started keeping the long split as is rather than splitting a bunch of shorts. While it may be a little unorthodox these will work fine for the Hardy.

    If it works for you it works for me. All it has to do is get through the door. Good thinking.
