The downhill trunk from a clump of maples
just let go during a storm a couple of weeks ago.
The fallen trunk stretched almost 70 feet
shattering a lot of the crown.
But the main body, including the lowest segment
looking like a rotten tooth
had to be chain-sawed into 4-5 foot sections.
Excellent firewood,
after a spell of curing.
It was a pretty good long healthy life,
but for the rotten tooth.
Can’t blame bugs for this one,
this tree was woodpecker-certified bug-free,
A tree on the ground
passes to other uses
as brush habitat, compost, lumber, stovewood.
