It is GONE!!! Took the guy about 20 minutes to cut the actual tree and another hour picking up pieces & cleaning up branches. Neighbors are NOT happy that it's gone... Oh well. They can plant their own tree. Didn't destroy the yard as much as I was expecting it to be.. Just squished three or four roses at the most & the one that was the worst hit was Montezuma, which has not been a strong rose for me. I was expecting everything to be destroyed, so I cut California Dreamin' & Stainless Steel & gave to the guy's mom, who came to help as the guy who was supposed to help the tree guy didn't show.
Well worth it. Thought for sure that the second trunk was going to crush the guy for a minute or two... & as they were pulling/guiding it with their truck, the wind picked heavy for a few seconds & I thought it was going to topple the wrong way. Scared me for a minute.
I'll post pics tomorrow.
