Do you think it would have held on the stump longer if you had retained all the buttress roots?

Today's fell, Beech tree, I knew there was going to be trouble when the saw started to pinch immediately I started the face cut, the saw continued getting pinched in the cut, the same started to happen with the back cut and I realized the tree was in a very bad way within, no resistance completely rotten.

 

The tree let out some very loud bangs and we could see the holding buttress starting to crack and split, the 88 had barely cut one side when the tree sat on the tip and wouldn't let it go, the tree then let out an impressive crack and the buttress gave way, I have a short video of it the rear buttress literally explodes out of the ground.

 

In hindsight I think I wouldn't have bothered with the face cut and used a faster saw to cut through the back.

 

Did you do a habitat survey onthe tree before felling as looking at the tree it would be flagged up as high potential for Bats ?

Nice one I bet you will be telling people about that for years.
