Lotta rot in that root system. How did it stay up???

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Wing and a prayer. Today, the whole family would have been having a gtg on that deck under that tree. It just finally gave up last weekend

I thought we were guessing what the whole chunk weighted. Was I close?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Yes on the whole pick.

What was in the dump came in at 4600 and change. Surprisingly light due to the rot. The bad cut on the side of the stump was cracked and rotting.
Tell you what though, you could feel that sob behind the truck on 8% grades to the dump

I was gonna say 10 (hard to scale pics) but when I saw it in the trailer I was gonna say 5

My guess before he picked it up was 3-4 ton on the piece loaded in the trailer.
Really is suprising how that thing even stood up.
Every lead had been topped. That larger limb cut off the side at one point as you knew it ewent over the house. Planted next to a coy pond (no longer there) in a rock pile basically. On the end of a leach field. I can just imagine what was used to help a root issue.
She had called a "tree expert" when she purchased the property and was told the tree was quite "healthy". I have a feeling I know who it was. 😉 🤣
