By the time the branches/trunk have rotted enough to separate from the ball (decades), the cavity beneath the ball has filled in.

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

He already cut the tree before he stood it back up... Just depends on how much he leaves. This way he could cut the rest for firewood or whatever instead of leaving 10ft attached to the stump. To me it makes no sense not to stand it back up. Although on that particular tree it doesn't look like it would have been a problem with it coming back up.

I'd do it just to fill the hole. Why wouldn't ya?
