We might be joking when we say that everything in Australia will try to kill you, but the trees will definitely try to kill you. This one was thwarted.
For those who do feet, 40 Metres is 130 feet.
YouTube description:
40 metre tree removed due to an old lightning strike in Tecoma, Dandenong Ranges.
The tree had dropped several limbs, one narrowly missing people in the garden.
Leroy did a great job on lowering the branches letting them run all the way down, not too big, not too small just a nice flow.
The client will be milling the wood to extend the house and more natives will be planted in its place
