Zorro

There are ongoing debates about the age of the tree and whether it should have been cut down. The property manager claims that it was 300 years old. He also says that city workers undermined the root system and killed it. It is always sad to see the loss of something green.

On the other hand, Zorro, the professional tree remover, has had his hands full with this job. He has arrived each morning in a bleached white t-shirt, clean pants and Ray-bans. Firing up his prized weapon, he removes tree limbs with skill. His underlings remove the pieces and follow his orders. There has only been one faux pas when a large piece hit the road below instead of the road beside! He scrambled down to cut it into pieces while one of his men directed traffic. You could see embarrassment on his face!
Not to mention fear!! What if there had been a vehicle or pedestrian below!!

Now the really difficult challenge begins as they have to dig away and remove the tree trunk that sits on the side of the hill and most of the root system.
We have been given a guarantee that they will not be using dynamite!

The termite infested tree has provided a feast for hundreds of birds in the area. They sit on railings and other tree branches, waiting for the chainsaw to stop so that they can begin foraging.
