What the work should solve
Dead trees lose strength over time. The safest method depends on species, decay, remaining attachment, targets, and whether the trunk can still support climbing or rigging.
A useful estimate connects the recommended method to the tree’s condition, the people or property below it, and the physical route needed to complete the work.
