We have a Budlia (sp?) tree which grows out of the wall by our front door. There was a windy night recently and a big chunk half detached itself.
I used an axe to chop it down.

Rawrrrrr, I am Man. etc

You are undoubtedly correct. It looks much more 'planty'

Actually named in honour of the Reverend Septimus Buddle, a vicar who unlike so many was keener on his garden than on his choirboys...

I took mine out with a log saw...
Then dug the root out with a shovel.

Was a bigass root too - just about fitted in the boot to take to the dump.
