My nephew has a tree business and does it the old fashioned way with no cranes or other equipment he's a climber. So he took care of a few things for me.

Good you have somebody. I contacted a guy that said he did tree trimming to come cut my low hanging Mesquite tree limbs. I guess he doesn't like Mesquite thorns, he never showed up. I'm looking to buy me a battery powered chain saw and do it myself.

And Wayne , how old are you climbing ladders & trimming trees ???
Do that task after the Trade Fair , I need to give you $$$

The only good thing about low hanging Mesquite limbs, is 90% if them you can cut off standing on the ground.

That's the problem we have with a lot of the desert trees. They don't want to be trees, they want to be big bushes.

Do you have any Mesquite trees you want completely removed? And are any of them large enough to saw into lumber? I've sawm several Mesquite trees on my mill and built items with the wood. Mesquite is much prettier as a table than a tree.

I can look around and see what sizes I have. I doubt I have any that could be used for lumber. They aren't that big around. If I find any We could probably make a deal. I'd never miss them if a few were gone.
