1.4 tonne that one came in.

Originally we were going to take it in 3 pics.

1/ Chain up just under the fronds, cut 0.5m beneath the green neck where it joins the grey trunk. That would have prevent inverting and no excess weight on the neck abscission zone which has known to fail.

2/ Take a straight section to just above the roof in case of swing.

3/ Take last bottom section with 2 chains.

However the bees caused a problem and I didn't want to go past them or cut near them etc, luckily they sent out a 25t franna instead of the 15t asked so could have taken it in one if we wanted.
