OK. I will leave it be for now. Here is the moral dilemma - if it falls, it will fall towards the house of a neighbor with a small child. It won't hit his house, but it will knock down his fence. (Maybe not, there are a lot of trees in the way and it might be deflected.) Both people who said that I didn't need to do anything yet could see the toys in that back yard, they have lots of those big bright plastic toys, it looks like a kindergarten, even though it's just one child. And I know the guy who owns the house, he's a court reporter and he's got a lot of lawyers in the family, so it's not just a moral dilemma, there's the potential for legal liability. I don't suppose Gustave would let his kid or dog out into the yard during the type of storm that might uproot a tree, so I probably won't do anything but worry. I could ask Gustave what he thinks, but I already know he thinks we should cut down ALL the trees and make it into a lawn, just as he did. As for the amount of wood, here is a table and I calculate between two and three cords of wood, which we could use up before it got too rotten. Thanks for the info about not being able to use the tree for lumber, that saves me that worry, anyway. It would (wood) have been kind of neat to use it for wood flooring for this house. sfrc.ufl.edu
