In exchange for snow removal services, a neighbor has a couple of large maple trees towards the back of his property that I get to take.
One has about a 40" diameter trunk with 3 16"-20" sub-trunks that separate from the main trunk about 4 feet off the ground. The other is approx 35" with 2 sub-trunks about 18" in diameter about 3 feet off the ground.
Probably a dumb question, but is it as easy as picking which one I want to drop first and then continue? No experience with multiple trunks this large.
Doesn't appear to be a lot of large branches intertwining between the sub-trunks, and I have a relatively open spot around for the drop-zone. Just a few small saplings that aren't valuable. Pretty level area, easy access for removal after felling & chunking, SEEMS to be on the simple side.
It the "SEEMS" part that I'm concerned about. All advice welcome.
Thanks,
Steve
