I looked at this tree today. Each leader has 2-4 vines on it (maybe English ivy) between 2-3” in diameter. It would have to be climbed to make felling fit. I estimated a 50-75% increase in time due to the vines. There is also the added danger.
It would be potentially hazardous sinking spurs around and in the Ivy. I couldn’t trust a set climb line because I can’t see the tree. All the vines would have to be removed before a chunk could be dropped. I can’t fully inspect the tree.
The vines could always be cut and we could remove the tree in 2 years and may be able to “easily” release the vines.
Do you believe the extra time estimate is correct?
