I have this walnut tree in the garden. It popped out of the ground about five and a half years ago. No idea where it came from. Probably squirrel or bird dropped the seed/nut onto the ground and it took hold. Anyway in that little time, the walnut tree grew to over 30 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet wide. It got so big, the plants in my garden wasn't getting any sun or rain. I had to cut the branches back. I used my Milwaukee Sawzall to do the job. Damn, it took my sons and I quite some time to cut of the branches. After it was all said and done, I was stuck with all these branches. I wasn't looking forward to cutting them up to smaller pieces. I decided to get me a Milwaukee M12 Hatchet. It's a mini chainsaw. Damn, it's the perfect tool for this type of job. The only thing I'm not happy about is how difficult it is to start the thing (switch and lock button location). It's also a bit messy (oil), but I can live with that. Adjusting the chain tension, which is crucial, is simple to do.
