Cool video! We live on 8 acres of thick forest, and we've had dozens of trees taken down here, including some massive oaks and hickories - but that's the biggest oak trunk I think I've ever seen. WOW! We also have a large 43,000 gallon swimming pool down below the house, literally surrounded by some really big trees. About 3 years ago, a big oak fall in a windstorm, hit another two trees, and one of them fall into the pool. That wasn't fun to clean up. We've taken down several of the largest trees in the last few years, and I don't miss all of the tree crud dropping into the pool all the time, plus it gets way more sun now. We still get a big leaf fall in autumn, and many drop into the pool on windy days - but it's nothing like the unmanageable MESS we used to get down there. I can fish the leaves out daily for a month as they fall now, before they sink to the bottom, which saves me a LOT of time opening the pool in the spring! I used to cover it, but the pool is really big and the well-aged cover started falling apart, so it became more trouble to cover it than it was worth.
Wow Erik! I have and 18 month great grandson that loves trucks, cranes, etc. I did not know that anyone outside my family would watch this, but you are very welcome. It was a water oak tree. I will not miss those tiny leaves in my pool and those other limbs that are always falling in your yard. The tree was the largest in my neighborhood and I am still recovering.
@@dutchdog804 Yeah, those long leaves look like willow oak to me as well. Water oak leaves are shorter and much wider at the end, and are shaped much like a pear.
