Felling of Trees

The process of a cutting down or knocking down or causing trees to fall to the ground is called the felling of a tree. Trees have to be felled only when they are very close to maturity or have just matured. Generally, trees attain maturity between 50 and 100 years. Trees cut before maturity may not be durable. On the other hand, trees cut after maturity may cause the valuable heartwood to decay. The best time for felling trees is mid-summer or mid-winter when the sap quantity is minimum.
