I hate taking down full grown trees, but we have one near the house that just has to come down. I think it's some sort of cedar, although I'm not sure. it has 'flaky' bark on the trunk, which is about 24" at its base but rapidly spreads out into multiple limbs. it's maybe 30' tall an dvery broad - I think the previous owner had it 'flat topped', so maybe it should be even taller. the needles are about an inch long, and after they fall off and dry up they are very stiff and can be very painful if stepped on. I don't have a pic - I'll try to post one later. Does anyone know if Cedars grow on Cape Cod? or are there other trees that might fit the description?
