We had one come home last year with the top two feet of an 8" diameter fir tree

That takes some doing, 8" fir trees are pretty sturdy.

True, but the top two feet of such a tree is not a lot tougher than
the top two feet of a 2" (trunk diameter) tree. And for that matter,
not a lot less tough than the top 2 feet of a giant sequoia! I doubt
if he meant that the tree was 8" in diameter two feet from the top --
those are generally described as utility poles, not trees g.
