It’s a challenge every time one of these big fellows comes crashing down and especially so when it happens in a backyard with no access to the street, not even a driveway. As reported by our sister blog Yonge and Roxborough News this tree came down a few days ago in a storm and in order to get it out, a giant crane had to lift it perilously over the rooftops. This happened at 52 Macpherson Ave an area of the city that was built in that twilight zone of history where there were no lanes between the fine homes. Left, great tree lays across the garden; centre, a flight into the unknown and right, close to terra firma and a meeting with the tree man’s buzz saw.
