I'm stuck in a tree!

Hint 1 of 9:

Have you noticed what kind of tree that is?

Hint 2 of 9:

It's a kumquat, same as the one back in Hoagie's time.

Hint 3 of 9:

You can't do anything to the tree now, but perhaps if Hoagie did something
to it in the 1700's, you could get down.

Hint 4 of 9:

One of the characters in the 18th century is famous for cutting down trees.

Hint 5 of 9:

But only cherry trees.
