Leaning pop felling

[Peter]

If it's leaning in the right direction you don't need directional control, it's not directional felling as such, you are aiming to release the tree to its lean as safely as possible.

 

Don't leave too thick a hinge, it may barber chair. Other than that, as Tom says assess every tree on its own merits.
