I'm going to post this both here and in bowyers bench.
I have a friend that lets me cut osage on his property. We went one day after work and cut down a large tree, but it hung up and couldn't get it to fall. We were expecting some storms, so we decided to let the wind bring it down, which it did. We waited until until we had overlapping days off (shift work) to go try to retrieve it, but by then, the field that we have to cross to get to it had been planted leaving no way in except by boat. It is back in a bottom land area that is difficult to get to much of the time. Now it looks as if we can't get to the tree until after harvest in the fall. My question is, since the tree isn't cut up and hopefully most not in contact with the ground, will it be ok after having to wait probably 6 months? The straight portion where I can get staves out of is at least 5 feet up the trunk where it was cut off. I hate to lose a good osage tree. What do you think? Will is still be good?
