We've got some big plans for the back corner of our yard (more to come on that later). The first step was to remove this pretty darn huge tree ( 35' or so). We've never really liked this tree, but it did provide a good visual barrier. We are going to plant bamboo to take its place.
That is a clump of banana trees and a fig tree that were not too badly damaged in the process.
John got to be the one in the tree with the sawzall. I was the person on the ground with the rope. Pretty fun actually, kind of like lifesaving with a ring. We only lost two (out of 20) branches over the fence and we easily pulled them back over.
I was tempted to leave it like this for a while.
But we didn't. We took all the branches off.Next step- chainsaw and taking out the trunk. I'm pretty sure that'll be my job, because you all know how great I am with a chainsaw, right?!

That was quite an undertaking. The corner looks nice and bright now. I wonder if your neighbors appreciate all the new sunlight. I know I would!
They love the new sunlight, but were sad to see the tree go.
