Here's some of the chainsaw "rules".
Dont cut above shoulder height.
Dont one hand.
So you are climbing up the trunk of a palm, encounter a stack of frond and berries and junk ... what's ya choices, if you cut and let things fall then you'll damage what's beneath.
The butts and dead fronds are tough and handsawing is way to slow plus you wont get a neat enough flush cut to the trunk.
Snap cutting, well, good luck.
So, for those people who do a lot of palms I know that you know exactly what goes on.
Speaking of which I have 9 to clean tomorrow including one Canary Island Date Palm!
