The most hacked tree.

[darkstar]

Perhaps some would like to compete for picture of most hacked tree.
Ill open with this beaut of a hackberry hack.

 

[darkstar]

Notice the attempted notch.

 

[gf beranek]

A specimen to be sure.

 

[Mr. Sir]

A very fitting name, for sure.

When I lived and worked in New Jersey, there was a tree service called "Hacker's"

It was the owner's last name. Always cracked me up when I saw his trucks.

 

[Old Monkey]

Are we going for staged removal trees or what some people call trimming?

 

[SkwerI]

I'm not sure if that qualifies as 'hacked', since it was obviously an attempted removal. They just weren't able to complete the felling cut.

In my opinion, 'hacked' refers to trees that were trimmed improperly on purpose. Not an unfinished removal.

 

[MasterBlaster]

All I have is this.

 

[gf beranek]

Another dandy specimen.

 

[MasterBlaster]

A higher power trimmed this tree.

 

[klimbinfool]

Butch was that you in your early days ?

 

[darkstar]

Ill be psyched when i get you guys a better quality pic of that hacked hackberry.
Its been standing like that for 18 months, pitaful.
MB you might have bested me.

I saw this in Norway 2 years ago and liked it well enough to take a picture.
It is not one tree, but I thought it might qualify anyway

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Ouch.... Poor things...

 

[Paul B]

sadly, all to easy to find around here.

 

[stig]

Just remembered I had this one on file.
Used to be a widecrowned copper beech, but no more, alas.

 

[No_Bivy]

missed one

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Looked like he hit his height comfort level at the top... LOL

 

[klimbinfool]

looks like the Grinch should live at the top of that one

 

[Burnham]

From my files...these Bradford pears have since been removed...never recovered.

 

[Burnham]

These are sad, too. But I know they don't come close to "worst"...you see this crap all the time.

 

[rumination]

Someone clearly didn't like getting out into the tips.
