‘Gentle Giant’ made mini; slabs severed for memorial

AJ Hunter uses a skid steer to move a portion of the trunk of the ‘Gentle Giant’ tree at the Bayless/Salyer House, which was felled during a windstorm in Cassville on May 26. Tree Tech Tree Service donated its services to remove the massive pine tree, which was about 100 years old and the tallest in Cassville for a period of time. The remains of the pine were loaded into a trailer and taken to the city of Cassville’s storm vegetation debris drop-off point east of the Cassville Municipal Airport. Slabs from part of the trunk were also cut off to use later in a memorial at the house.
