This is the nptc question. 80% front cut trees under 200mm. Where the surrounding crown cover doesn't allow the tree to fall.
Make a cut 80% of the diameter into the front of the stem in the felling direction. The second cut is made on the opposite side at an angle allowing the two cuts to meet. The tree can then removed from the stump.
