This morning I was enjoying a very good cappuccino at the Cafe Mocca when I saw a man at the very top of a beautiful pine tree. The tree is growing behind the Westpac bank - Burnt Pine and was planted around 20 years ago.
Then the chain saw started up............ and bit by bit the beautiful Pine was removed.
Going..............
Going.........
Going...............
Going.............
GONE!!!!
The result..........
This tree was removed because it had outgrown the small area behind the bank. Unfortunately it is insurance costs and risk management policies that demand these iconic trees be removed from our streetscape. Hopefully the majestic Norfolk Pines can be grown more appropriately in paddocks behind the shopping precinct.
This is Howard - he is an absolute master at removing trees. He also plants 1000s of Norfolk Pine and other native trees around the Island.
Here are a few shots of the Master at work.....................
His mate said " Howard gets up a tree so fast he beats the rats".
