I have had this ugly dead maple right along side the driveway that blew over only to be held up by a big fir. I have been afraid it might fall sometime when we least expected. I figured if I cut it off the stump it would just slip towards the tree that was holding it up, and then I could drag it from the butt back keeping well out of the way. So that was the plan!
The cut worked out, it slipped off the stump. But when I dragged it back the top broke off and instead of crashing to the ground, it landed and stayed balanced on a 3 inch branch 60' up. Now I have a true "widow maker".
I'd know what to do if I had an extra stick of dynamite but am open to suggestions. Let me know what you think.
