Good point Jerome but I feel that trees after they get big become a liability. We had this one cut down by an arborist about 6 weeks ago. He threw up a rope towards the top of the tree. His wife pulled on the rope while he made the effective cuts on the tree. The tree dropped exactly where it was supposed to.
If the tree was any bigger then he would have to climb the tree and work his way down with the chain saw. Our neighbours have trees bigger than this - three of them planted approx 50 years ago . One for each child. Unfortunately the tree roots from one are growing under our garage. Another tree has roots growing into our lawn. When we or the neighbours come to sell our properties tree roots on neighbour's lawn is called an encroachment on the property. This has legal and financial implications. We have urged him to have these trees removed so I can also cut my lawn without hitting roots.
Fortunately he has agreed to have the trees cut down. That means less pine needles in the eavestroughing and reduced fire hazard.
That is my .05 cents worth.
