Our Norfolk Pine Had to Come Down!

It was so sad to have to remove this magnificent tree from the yard next to David and Gianni's apartment, but we need to make space for another building there.

This was a very tall Norfolk Pine which was beginning to tower twice the height as the house itself. We contracted an old fellow "Guicho" who took the whole thing down by himself! He trimmed off the branches, as shown around the base of the tree below, then climbed almost to the very top to take that section down (with a machete!).
