Its a hard one for me too the magnolia is at least 40 ft. tall. I have two others besides this one. He already cut some pines and to his credit he brought to the mill so we can use them in a project we're building. I'm still not on board with cutting it we lost so many oaks and pines and one wild cherry in Katrina, Gustavo, and Isaac. I want to replace some of what we lost with fruit or nut trees. Pam
