Cut it to fall to the left, with a big wedge. The weight of the top and the other tree leaning on it should give it enough of a push that you won't have to cut all the way through. When you hear it start to crack clear the area.<br /><br />Once the left tree is gone, I would try to cut as much off the bigger tree as possible, from the top first. It may spring a bit as the weight shifts. Once you have everything you can reach cut off it may be easier to judge where that branch is going to fall.<br /><br />Good luck!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.com
