On the other side of the park there was a rather large Pine Tree that has been causing problems. The people who lived around it wanted it down and the park agree. The only thing was the park was insisting the people living near it were to pay for it's removal. (The park only pays if the tree is a hazard.)
I heard about this and decided to step in. I got things ready. Late at night not too long ago I skulked up there and did some work. Several deep yet thin drill holes were made with a cordless drill and a masonry bit. All of these holes were made in the same side of the tree low down.
Each one of these holes was filled with an extremely strong acid solution then I headed for home.
Over the next couple of days the tree mysteriously died and then started leaning. It seemed one side of the tree was decomposing at a rather rapid rate. It was actually soft. When this was pointed out to the park they had no option but to hire a tree cutting firm to come in and remove the tree at no cost to the local home owners.
Too bad I can't do the same thing to the Australian Pines around my place but more than one tree becoming sick like this in a short time would be suspicious.
I wonder if I can somehow manage to burn these trees from the top down without getting into trouble. (It's truly amazing what you can do with Magnesium.)
