i have a huge water oak (a type of red oak) tree at my place. a couple days ago, it was standing up. now, it’s down. i have between ten and twenty tons of it on the ground. free for the taking! all you need to do is cut it up and haul it away.
one limb of it crushed this gmc van. another limb crunched our christmas tree from my son’s first christmas. the van was for spare parts for another vehicle – no big deal. the christmas tree is a serious loss. 🙁
water oaks have a reputation for doing this. the main trunk (five foot diameter, but hollow) is still standing, but it dropped four or five huge branches weighing several tons each.
free firewood! come and get it! bring your chainsaws!
