Last winter I cleaned up around a giant cottonwood tree in my field. Every year a few more scrub trees would grow around it, and lean out a tad more, and a tad more.
Took me 3 days of crawling on my belly and cutting the stumps, it was quite a thicket, but think I gained a 1/4 to 1/2 acre back around that tree. And a little firewood, tho most of the wood was small scrub treelets.

Tree is 5 feet or so across. Neighbors that live close say they watch the lightening hit it a few times over the years.
I ran the combine auger into it years ago, but I'm not gonna talk about that.....
