I've been felling some EAB infected (dead) Ash trees on my property, 18" to 22" at the stump and 60' to 80' tall. These trees still have the bark intact, other than where the birds have peeled it looking for EAB's.
I'm finding out that most are structurally worse than they appear. The tops are exploding upon impact with the ground and holding wood when felling is non existant. So far I haven't got much directional control, even when trying to wedge one over. I need to try leaving a thicker hinge.
Just wanted to give ya'll a heads up if you haven't been working with EAB Ash yet. Be extra carefull.
