I took down a 40' fichus tree in pieces because there was no room to
just drop it. I got a big articulated man lift and cut from the top
down. It was really pretty easy and I never felt like I was in any
danger.

Dang. I've never seen a Ficus that big at a typical home property. I
know if they get water they grow like mad. Next to a sewer septic line
/ field or near a natural spring.
They are related to the Banyan trees. Ever see the one at the old Lee
county courthouse?
