Dormant hero!!
This is the tree I told the home owners I couldn't pull up the hill a couple weeks. Much to my surprise I found someone had pulled it up the hill. The stump was a bit more solid than I expected though I can see the brown cubicle rot throughout it. It is an awkward feeling to find a tree on the ground that I told the owners wouldn't go that way. The more I look at it, the more I am convinced they got lucky. The butt log did not roll where it lays, it landed there. As you can tell from the divot in the asphalt. The hinge was so thin I think it failed on the off side causing the tree to roll of the stump. I could see no signs of wedges driven hard, no jack seat, just pulling. The face was over half deep on a back leaner, the picture of the rotton log is about 50-60 feet up so I am amazed it held for the pull. Any way, I thought I would post these pics and see what discussion happened
