Hie everyone!
I inherited a house from my late father. In his final years, he wasn't much able to do heavy maintenance and he rarely went to one of the sides of the house, which became overgrown with Apple, Fig and Ash trees.
I have trimmed and cut down most of the trees with my homeowners saw but there is an ash tree about 8" in diameter and 10 feet tall growing against the wall.
I am wondering if I should use the pruning saw for this one, or if there is a proper way to fall a tree in this orientation? The attached pic is not the tree itself but just an example. It's growing right against the wall and there are some water pipes nearby but not close enough to be a danger.
Any advice, links to videos, etc. would be appreciated. A million thanks in advance!
