You make it look so easy, I tried this with a large wild cherry and it took 3 and a half hours, it come down but the bit I was sawing just would not break off so I ended up sawing the branch that had come down then grabbing the bottom of the original branch and twisting it off, very heavy, I’ve done hazel before but the cherry seems extremely difficult, hard to cut off, it’s down now but it’s a mess, it’s a tree high as the house so hope it’s gonna be ok as I can’t afford to get it done .hardest tree I’ve done so far very heavy, I did an ash once but I could get to it easier, that was heavy too .
