We get micro-burst winds at our place that are sometimes 80 m.p.h It happened a
couple of weeks ago and it almost leveled our cottonwood tree. It was taller than the house, probably about 30 feet tall. It was completely uprooted so I had to take it out. I cut it down limb by limb until just the center was left and then
continued to cut it down into little pieces until the whole thing fit into the dumpster. It was sad to lose because it gave us great shade and privacy from the neighbors but it may have ended up being too big in the long run. We have since replaced it with a new October Glory Maple and are looking forward to it's red leaves this fall.
