In the pictures below, you will note a tree that I have on my property that recently found itself in a precarious position. The noted tree is the TOP 80 feet of what was a 150 foot tree. It was blown off the top of the tree in a recent storm, came straight down and lodged itself in the ground and is now leaning against another tree. I need to safely remove this "tree top" so that it has a controlled fall. The third picture is the base of the tree top that is sitting on the ground. How should I do this?
If I cut to fell it as you would a normal tree, it could just buckle on me I am thinking. The only way that I can see to do this safely is with a 50 + foot chain tied to the base and pull it away from the tree it is leaning on. Any thoughts? Any suggestions?
