How can I kill a 2 foot tree before I cut it up for firewood?

purely decrease the tree down, it can't combat back any much less if that's ineffective already. in fact it does not even scream much less opposite to prevalent perception. a great thank you to kill a tree is in fact to diminish it down. If the tree is bigger than 50' tall nonetheless i might pay a specialist to diminish it down for you. Even experts die slicing timber down. Peace, SSSSpaceman SSSpliff
