It’s hard to see, but the two trees crossed as they came down.  You can see the trunk crossing over in the first photo, about seven feet in the air.   The root balls were about 8 feet high, both flipped down quite nicely when the trunks were cut.  The trees were about 75-85 years old, they had been planted along the old road alignment when the state built the new highway in the 1930’s.
