Ground was extremely soft... water-logged as you say. We've had more rain in the last 3 weeks than in the last 3 years combined.

It hadn't been pruned at all throughout it's life, I think if it were still standing it could have benefitted from some thinning for sail-reduction. Only found one piece of deadwood, was suprised. T'was a very "healthy" tree.

I failed to mention that there were trees down all over the city today, we had gusts up to 115mph. Poor thing just couldn't hold up in the face of that.

I'll not be doing the stumping job. I did what I said I'd do, and I've no experience running a stumper. I think it's hardly the job to learn on. =)
