Hi all. Hope you're enjoying the Christmas break.
I have this big (aprox 65') Eucalyptus unknown about 55' from my house. Recently ... about four months back we had some big winds come thru and had many windfalls. This tree shown in the pics had cracking in the ground around its root mass and the two main trunks had started to seperate by about an inch. The two main trunks are aprox 32"x27" each.
I want to eventually get a pro axeman (Tassie is full of them) to remove it, but it all takes money. I could fell it myself, but I really don't want to remove the four fences it would take with it. In the mean-time, my wife and I are living in fear of its eventual demise.
Can I ringbark this monster and have it removed at a later date?
If so, considering it is a medium density gum, what is the considered opinion on maximum time limit between death and removal? (Anyone who answers this question will be held under No Liability)
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
