TREE HIEGHT
I have cut down quite a lot of trees on my property & others. Some 100+ tall, growing 3' next to our cabin ( had help from friend with a 4X4 tractor). But I have one in my front yard that when felled could come close to hitting a telephone line.
So my question---Is there a way to determine the height of a tree accurately?

Dennis----not sure this will work as all of my property is on a 10° - 15° slope.
auebach---Your shadow method may work even though my property is sloped--not sure.
KT--Tape measure & tree spikes---not even gonna think bout that one .
Could not try the methods yesterday--no sun & very cold--maybe today.
THANKS GUYs for the info.

TREE HIEGHT
Aaaaa----- auebach----Good advise there---why in the world I never thought of that as the tree is is just with in close range to taking down a line as I See it. I do have a pole saw ( cheap ) that I could use as the tree is bout 8"- !0" ( & dead ) in diameter .
The shadow method did not work as the shadow ran off a drop off, then not seen.
The method from Dennis was hard to do---even though I have a talking level-----Think ya need 2 people for this.
HEY---Learned a lot here----THANKS Guys

You are quite rite bout pole saws auebach----Don't know what I was thinking (or was I EVEN thinking at all). Oh ya--chain saws---I have 3.
As for a ladder---well the tree is dead---one 10' top has already fell out. So putting a ladder on it is not a good idea. However I think I can get my excavator rite next to it----it has a very strong canopy ( can't remember what that is called---maybe FOPS ? )---I have stood on it before--just for the heck of it.
For now I think I will leave it be as I don't think the whole tree will fall over & I came across some birch & maple the power co. cut down along the road.
Thanks for info.
