I should shoot you some pictures of what FPL does to trees but it can simply be called getting whacked in the Tony Soprano sense. If they don't cut it down they cut a hole in it you could fly a Huey through.

The have all had our fill of trees taking out the power.

That is one of the few times you can just whack a tree around here. If it is in the middle of your yard and you just want it gone, you may need a permit and maybe mitigation.
(unless it gets sick and dies wink )
