I am not sure of the type of tree but I was quite frustrated when it was lodged in branches too small to climb and chocked with vine. The only way that airplane was going to come down was someone pulling it down with a bucket truck or a hurricane. To make matters worse the tree and the plane was very visable as you drive down the driveway to our flying field. It would have been a monument to my poor depth perception for weeks. I would have heard about it for weeks. The cost to get it down was worth it at twice the price! Currently a co-worker is repairing the wing while I travel for work. I better buy him some good cigars!
