This is an old Red Oak that measures about 30 inches dia at the base. I have pondered what to do with this tree over the years and finally decided that it should go. It is old and mis-shapen but is alive and contains lots of good wood. I don't think it is hollow because I have taken down similar trees nearby and they were sound. I happened to mention to my neighbor the other day that I was going to keep my eye out for someone who might need some firewood. Well, he said he would be glad to take it so after the snow melts we are going to take it down. I can get my tractor in there so we will cut it into large sections and use the tractor to lift them onto his trailer. He has a 10,000 lb capacity car hauler. Should be a fun day! We both win. He gets some wood and I get this eyesore removed.
