Agreed Carl. Red Gum gets as hard as concrete once it dies and dries -
especially round the outside. This will blunt your chainsaw quick smart.
Live or only newly dead stuff cuts like butter.

If you have ever had to chainsaw well dried River Redgum , you would
know why they prefer to fell live trees.

A thought just occurred to me, although I'm probably being overly
cynical. Not so long ago I read stories that many Red Gums in the
Murray Darling were dying due to the drought. The trees in this
instance are in wetlands which is why they're supposed to be
protected. I wonder if the part of the story that isn't being told is
that the trees *outside* the wetlands are dead or degraded and that's
why the loggers are keen to cut the ones in the wetlands where they
are healthier? Just curious...
