(E). Asegúrese de no hacer el corte inferior muy profundo dentro del tronco.

O

La ranura (C) deberá ser lo bastante profunda para crear una articulación (F) de suficiente anchura y

L

fuerza. La ranura deberá ser lo suficiente ancha para dirigir la caída del árbol por el mayor tiempo posible.

ADVERTENCIA

Nunca camine en frente de un árbor que haya sido ranurado.

Realice el corte de talado (D) desde la otra parte del árbol y 3-5cm (1.5 - 2.0”) arriba del borde de la ranu- ra (C) (Figura 5-1B).
