Describe how to fell a tree manually so its direction of fall is controlled

What will be an ideal response?


First an undercut (wedge) is cut from the tree trunk on the side in the desired direction of fall. Then a backcut is
made just above the undercut. Wind direction and irregularities in the tree shape can affect the direction of fall
and should be accounted for. In some cases, ropes or cables may be necessary to ensure that the tree falls in the
desired direction.
