So I am laying there dozing thinking how little I will do today when I heard a sound of tearing metal. Turns out the monster 70-80' Nicholii in our yard fell over & luckily fell in my neighbours yard missing their house by inches but crushing their pergola. If it fell the other way I would have been certainly killed in bed so everyone was pretty lucky all round. The best part is the council refused to let us remove it two years ago as it was considered "safe".
The tree is on it's side & that fence is 6' high, those side branches are 20-30' long & the root ball is taller than me.
This is about the size of the tree it was fucking huge!
