  5. I find it quite distressing to lose big old trees to storms . A large fig that I parked the tractor under if it was a hot day of grass cutting or mulch moving , came down a month ago . Took me several days with a Stihl MS660 to cut it up and burn. I removed all tree risks around the house many years back . Had a cousin who was killed when a pine sliced through a single storey building in the eighties.

    1. A few years ago an old oak that held a swing for generations of children cracked and fell during an easterly storm. Very sad. It was so big around at the base that when it came time to rent a big chainsaw to remove it in spring I counted 170 rings. The tree had been growing since before the War of Southern Rebellion. I've made several benches from slabs of it so family members can remember the summer pleasures of swinging from the tree's branches.
