Wonder if any of youse have ever seen a fir this grotesque? Gerry? Reminds me a bit of some of the gnarly Monterey cypress that I saw on my Cali trip....or of some cedrus atlantica.
These images are from my fancy schmancy Samsung cell phone...not bad, the ones that are focused.
We set aside all the branch wood over 3-4"...prolly a good 3/4 cord! That would have chipped up into at least 6 yards of chips to add to the 40 yards or so that we produced!!! That total did include two more normal firs, prolly two yards and four yards each of chips.
Freaking amazingly gnarly tree...the limbs, as you can see, were spaced almost on top of each other at the bottom, and finally becoming spaced by a foot or so..but, until the top 25 feet or so, they all went up at 30-60 degree angles.....
