Half The Tree

Im not entirely certain on species of this eucalyptus. I think they are Sugar Gums, but unfortunately Eucalypt ID, has never been my strong point. I do know that these trees acquire the nick name 'Widow Makers'. Aptly named as they have a bad tendency to drop large branches, without warning. We discovered this mess on the rubbish run, first thing in the morning, so it had probably fallen over night. Due to its size, we had to call in the help from another team, as they have a larger chainsaw then us and they have a truck. If we had done it with our puny little chainsaw and ute, it would have taken all afternoon to chop up and remove. It took just over an hour to remove and tidy up. Nothing like a fallen tree branch to break up the monotony.
