A friend of mine has a cottonwood tree that needs to come down. That thing is huge! It is conservatively seven feet across at the bottom. He wanted my opinion on it and I told him to call a tree service, as there is a relatively short window in which it needs to fall. I told him that once it is on the ground, we can carve it up, but that first job needs to be handled by somebody that really knows what they are doing. What are some opinions on how this should be taken down, and the equipment needed. I said that they would probably start by taking a few of the upper, large branches down first. Ideas?
