New Log Day! What do I do with this cherry crotch?
Some neighbors down the road had a Cherry tree taken down the other day and naturally I yoinked that up. Tree guys were going to throw it in the woods. I've got a 16" and 33" section of trunk and this crotch area where the first branches were cut. Only 2 of the branch cuts look fresh, so I'm guessing the tree was pollarded and that's what killed it. Seems to be a popular thing to do for cherry trees in your front yard in the area.
I'm a little worried about bugs in the old dead limbs so I've cut it into two pieces and placed them in black garbage bags in the sun. It's 95* daily so I hope a few days in the bags should kill most anything.
Anyways any fun recommendations for this crotch? Phrasing intended.
