OK, first of all, it's snowing in Georgia!
Now, this tree is mocking me, it's mocking me I tell ya! I believe it's a Red Mulberry, although it's kinda big, so it might be a Black Mulberry. Every winter it looks deader than dead, and every spring it blooms. It's right outside my shop, and I just want to cut it down for the burl around the base. It's a good 5 to 7 feet around at the base, with burl areas 5 feet up all around.
My question is: Is it possible to remove a small section of the burl without damaging the tree?
