I have a friend that owns a house in Jefferson, OR. He has very large, maybe 90 foot tall leaner oak tree, about 28-30 inches at the base, that has busted about 7 foot up the trunk. The tree is leaning against another large tree. It's on a hillside, and very hard to get a truck nearby it. You can get down hill of it, maybe 50 yards close with a truck, but really, no closer, due to a sharp slope. See the two pics I have of it.
Would you have cut it down or would you have left it? If you would have cut it, how would you do it? By the way, I decided to leave it alone for the wind to knock it over. The pics were taken in April, and the tree is still hung up, and has not fallen, even in the heavy wind storm we had last night and today. I know it will fall eventually, but it's hung up pretty good. The pics do not do justice.
My thoughts were to get a long rope, and pull it over with my truck, but then again, that would have to be done the direction the tree is leaning - downhill.
