While the cut is being made, the helper should tug on the tree lightly to ensure that the saw kerf remains open so that the saw does not bind. The tugging force should be applied to the side of the tree opposite the cut. In the case of the Leylands, the cut is best made by an attendant at the farm using a chain saw. A back cut should be made first with the final cut coming from the opposite side. Bring the tree to the processing area where it will be cleaned and netted.
Netting makes transporting and handling the tree substantially easier.
When you are checking out, remember to pickup a tree removal bag. It can be used as a tree skirt and then pulled up around the tree to help keep the floors clean when the tree is being taken down. Now you're ready to load the tree and head home to decorate your Real Christmas Tree . Back to the Front Gate.
