Sis: They are coming to take the tree down, do you want it?

Me: Sure

Sis: It’s down, better bring some help.

Me: My help is already there.

Sis: I won’t be here and they already left

I'll bet there would have been some beautiful grain in that "Crotch wood" if it had been milled !

She was having some Cypress trees taken down and decided to have that one taken down too. It was inside a fence and she was worried it was going to crash on the fence the next storm.

I’m going back tomorrow to get the cypress trees to mill.

Good call on cutting down a bradford pear, it was probably planning to fall on something.

Do they make decent firewood?
