We had an interesting windstorm that ripped the top off a red oak. It has a side trunk that was previously removed so the remaining base is very wide and about 7 feet tall. The remaining shaft might be about 25-30 feet tall above the base and perhaps 24"+ in diameter. It is near the property line which is on the opposite side of the previous removal and the remaining trunk has a slight lean toward the property line. I want to avoid encroaching on the neighbor if possible.
How would you tackle dropping this?
Not having a saw bar anywhere near the width of the base, would it be unreasonable to trim off the base portion below the previous removal so just the base of the remaining tall shaft remains to be treated like a single trunk tree?
Any other insight would be appreciated.
