Anyone want to guess the height of this old tree and its age? The guy standing closest to it it 6’3 if that helps It’s the biggest tree we’ve ever had to drop but it has to go bye bye unfortunately.

75 ft and I would guess about 125 yrs old.
Can't tell form pics what species it is and will you save any of the trunk logs?

Sad to see it go but sometimes they need to go. Very true statement, trees or people. Sometimes you have to grab the saw.

I’m guessing about 90’ and clueless on the age but I’ll try and get a pic of the base before it’s ground up. The roads being widened so it’s in the new right of way unfortunately.

I wish you could somehow still have it stay, like in a center island. Those are the finest DWI/DUID checkpoints I've seen. They are typically permanent checkpoints too.

A forestry guy told me you can in fact count rings to get the age.
But, a light ring AND a dark ring = one year.

It’s a big old White oak and the state owns the tree, If you have a semi swing by and I’ll load up that 30,000 pound log LOL
Poppa that’s us on 205, we’ll be finished within a week thank goodness if the weather holds out, We still have some smaller projects going on a few side roads but the main part is about completed and will be moving the big equipment onto 545 outside Melissa for a quick 9 mile job.
