Four 65-gallon cans of green waste from "pruning" a 20-foot mango tree. Four more cans at the next green waste pickup and we should be down to just a few branches.
Next year we get to do the other mango.
It takes them about five years to grow back to view-obscuring size, but my pruning days are just about over. I've cut way back on the water in that part of the yard, too, so maybe that'll slow them down a little. One or two more iterations and then we'll be looking for a chainsaw artist to cut them back to standing trunks and carve a tiki to look down into the gulch.

I don't think it's the size or the weight as much as the power requirements...Good grief...I'd hate to think of one being so large it's not portable!
....hmmm...let me think about this a little longer....
