The largest trees we've taken down (in sections) were two poplars, which
were six feet in diameter at the base, and over 200 feet high. They were
landmarks - and could be seen from twenty miles away on a clear day.

I must measure the stump of these felled macrocarpas. They're enormous!
AIUI they're notoriously short-lived and unstable trees that shoot up like
weeds but don't have good anchors. Is that right?
