Well......not really, but we do get to fell them sometimes -

As for the species, they're Hybrid Black Poplars just dont ask me to get too specific with exact botanical names

The bit where the butt end kicks up at 1.19......it worries me that a amateur would not know that that was going to happen. We'd planned for it, the guy doing the cutting had made the back cut, the tree was then winched over with the guy well out of the danger zone.

I just watched this video again.

I had missed the thousands of leaves slowly falling after the initial Poplar drop on the first viewing.
