I bought a house with property a few months back. I've been working on it, removing trees and such. There were two Sweet Gum trees (27''dbh) growing out of the same stump. It noticed that it had been struck by lightning. After raking leaves and also getting up the thousands of the little balls that they produce annually and that one of the trees was leaning toward my electrical service I decided to remove it. I took a few pix....
In the one photo of the end of the trunk you can clearly see the lightning ''stain'' .
I cut the stump using my 066 with 32'' bar with a new skip chain from Madsens. I put a 028 on the stump so you could appreciate the diameter of it ... I did have the help of my 72 horse tractor with a set of forks to remove the stump from it base .... Yes it was a hard days work but well worth the effort....
