California Bonsai Art has a great article titled “Maple Trunk Chopping“. The article is full of advice on how to chop a tree. There are high quality photos of actual trees and illustrations to show how and where to chop a tree. This article should be able to anyone wanting to know more about chopping trees.  I have added the article to the Chopping Trees page under Bonsai Basics.
