Wind Fallen


Not all trees are felled,  some literally fall from the sky.  Many of the trees that we mill are wind fallen and often have to be removed due to the fact that they have damaged people's properties. This particular tree was sick, suffering from a fungal heart rot carried by nemotodes, and unfortunately fell onto the Waimea park's tennis courts. We salvaged it from the landfill,  reduced some hauling expense and saved quite a bit of fuel for the County of Hawaii. We will see what it yields.
