The tree is down.Another lesson to be learned- sometimes the drama is only in my head. It took 10 minutes and the tree was down.The only sad moment was when i saw a big brown bird flying in circles where the tree was. I think it looked for her nest.
That was a very tall tree, looking at the length of the crane's arm. Lovely blue skies it must be very hot there already. I like the little lilac coloured flowers in the last picture. Greetings Maria x
Fully grown palms are very successfully re-planted in places like Florida, because the root-bowl is so compact. I don't suppose your neighbours considered re-locating the poor bird.
It is amazing just how quickly a machine can dispose of such a tall palm. I am wondering if you have plans to replant something smaller in that space? Cooler here now ... I am not keen on days over 35° as they are too debilitating.
Those professional crews who take down trees are skilled and amazing. We just had one very dead tree downed. It was so dead they would not climb it. They threw weighted ropes into the branches to secure it, made a few saw cuts. Two men took the ropes in the trees, walked several hundred feet away, and pulled until the tree crashed into the woods.
I have to take down trees from time to time, but nothing so tall as that! Here I have mostly maple, poplar and pine trees. Nothing so exotic as palms.
My daughter, who is known for rescuing animals, has a squirrel. It was a baby, in a nest that was destroyed when a city crew cut down the tree the nest was in. Now "Conquers" lives in my daughters apartment. She gets out of her comfortable cage once a day to play. Not long ago, Conquers found my daughters cell phone on the bed and chewed it to pieces!
A professional job. The scenery around looks as I imagined when I commented once before, brown and parched, except for a few trees. I like the feel of the climate in your home.

ReplyDeleteThat how they did it here with the palm tree, with pine trees they climb and cut slices.

Your daughter is like my daughter Harry, we used to have here a lot of animals when she was a child and lived here.
DeleteSad to see it go, but I suppose can be dangerous to have such a tall palm near one's house.

ReplyDeleteIt is green in some parts but now the hills are getting dry and yellow each day.
ReplyDeleteI have an extremely tall palm tree in the front of my yard. I do hope the poor bird is ok.
ReplyDeleteQuick and easy job for big machine and crew, hope they are going to take it away for you.
