Mexican fern tree felling

These are the fastest growing "tree" in SEQ.

They're very brittle.

We were allowed to fell them, high impact urban felling and whatever vegetation got roughed up just had to be dealt with but not much happened really.

Neither held the scarf well, the second one I whacked just went a good 20 to 30 degrees off to the right if you watch ... they basically followed their weighting and just bust off the hinge even with a decent taper.

6.73mb WMV and 1.17min

That tree looks worthless. I hate brittle trees.
