    Tell me what I don't know about limbing a dead tree.

    Tell me what I don't know about limbing a dead tree.

    So I consulted my digital copy of the fundamentals of general tree work and starting on page 173 he describes the improved jump cut for large limbs.

    This giant oak was struck by lightning several months ago. It's over the bull pen, so I wanted to get it limbed and felled asap. I thought that it was strong enough to be climbing in but the tree was pretty brittle. Look what happened when I undercut these two limbs. This was unexpected and...
