After seeing many forms discussing this type of felling technique, my co-worker decided to give it a try on a Spruce tree we were removing.
this was our first, and only time ever using this technique (so of course it didn't go perfectly). The branches in the middle of the spruce tree kept the trunk notch from resting completely into the stump notch.
here is just a few scenarios where this felling technique could be beneficial (from what I've read in other online forms)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Though this method is hardly used. It can be used in certain scenarios where space is limited.
This method allows the tree to fall true to one direction without the risk of it fallen slightly to the left or right. So one example would be.... If you were removing the tree that is growing between two buildings and you absolutely had no room for error, this method could help guarantee the tree will fall true to the direction you want it.
This method has also been seen used in a city setting. If the cut is done right, then trunk notch should lay right into the stump notch.
A tree is usually felled at the sawyer’s chest height, eliminating the crushing blow of the lower trunk onto a flower bed, driveways and sidewalk.
As stated in the video description. The person has never done this type of cut before and had only read about it. He just wanted to try it out🤷🏻‍♂️
