Ha - not in San Francisco! Sorry, just updated to N. California (halfway between SF and Tahoe).
Also updated to add the MX6000.
Appreciate all the thoughts and advise thus far - these were some of my concerns and trying to cut trees down to a manageable size to run through a chipper is not something I’m looking forward to.
left a couple trees downed, but in 4 years they still are pretty much intact and just a nuisance now with about a total of 7 fallen trees all over the property and atleast another 5 that need to come down.
The pine cones falling are a real nuisance (and danger)
There is no sense to which ones fall - ones that look healthy all of a sudden fall, and some dead / half dead ones hang on for years and every winter I have a few huge limbs fall, which is really getting dangerous
Burning is not really feasible being in a high fire risk area, the burn piles can only be 4ft x 6ft and the local fire department is called on any fire that appears larger than that.
trying to get them off the property is too expensive.
insurance doesn’t want any downed trees on the property (and they inspect annually)
getting a wood chipper seemed to be the only reasonable solution thus far, but it’s not going to be easy either.
I don’t know - my neighbor just had to cut 20 trees and he can’t figure out how to get rid of them either and ended up cutting them to 2 foot pieces and trucking them to a processing place that accepts them for free - so essentially you spend about $300-500 in labor, time and fuel to get rid of each tree.
