The idea is to destroy the path for nutrients to return to the tree roots from its leaves, while leaving intact the ability for leaves to get water and nutrients from the roots. While this can take a couple of years to kill the tree, it works well. Just cutting down a Norway Maple tree will not hurt the roots. They will immediately start regrowing shoots, and if these are not cut multiple times the tree will ev...") Tag: Visual edit

The answer is that we create brush piles. If you just distribute the cut material, you make it harder to see what might be left to remove, as well as making returns trips to the area harder. Brush piles create beneficial habitat for small animals, as the invasive thickets which they were living in are removed. Quoting item 4 in the [http...") Tag: Visual edit
