THE felling of the giant Norfolk Island pine in Bank Street, Whangarei, last week, destroyed a landmark familiar to Northerners almost since the founding of the town. Two expert bushmen were engaged in the operation, which was somewhat “ticklish,” as the giant had to be felled exactly across a vacant section to avoid buildings, telephone and power wires and the main street. The height of the tree was well over 100 feet.
