Front page story in the Bend Bulletin this morning showed a pic of a sizable (~70' tall) Ponderosa Pine blown down by wind in a guy's yard. This was an old and not altogether healthy tree, mostly I think it just finally fell over. Big news was that it missed both his house & his fence. This is a big tree...I'm gonna guess from the pic of the guy standing next to it that it's about 24" DBH or a bit better. Anyway, my favorite part of the article was the last sentence:
"Lewis family friend Phil Burgess said he plans to burn the tree for warmth this winter. He plans to remove it at the end of the week." :lol:
