A man aged in his 50s was injured when a palm tree fell on him at South Nanango on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the private property on Izzards Road about 3:00pm.
They found the man trapped on a ride-on mower with a fallen tree across his lap.
QAS paramedics worked to stabilise the man while QFES crews cut the top off the tree and lifted it to extricate him.
The man was freed and placed on to a stretcher about 3:40pm.
A QAS spokesperson said the man was transported to Kingaroy Hospital in a stable condition with head, hip, pelvic and arm injuries.
