Default Re: Compression vs Tension Wood

Hey, little off topic but relevant anyway.

Have you ever been cutting a tree down and it has a large limb going off but for some reason or other you are cutting the leader it's growing from. As you work your way down the leader you cut off everything above that big branch.

This happens a lot in eucs when I work out of buckets. Every now and then the thought passes that the large limb could just bust off now as the upper part is now gone.
