Next up - a 60 foot chestnut.

You wouldn't be thinking of cutting down an American Chestnut, would you?

As a matter of fact, yes.

It's dead. Or in the last throes of dying. The trunk split in a wind
storm this year - it's definetly dead, done, dying.

Well, I thnk it is. Maybe I should have the Extension Center at UCONN
come and look at it before I remove it.

I didn't realise they were that rare - I've got two of these things
the yard next to the house with the runaway tree.

And I'm pretty sure they are American Chestnuts.
