With the
full tree method, trees are cut down and then taken as full trees to the forest
road.
There (a) they
can be loaded on special trailers and transported as full trees to the factory.
Otherwise (b), once at the forest road, trees are delimbed and topped and
transported to the factory as tree lengths. Or (c) they could also be crosscut
at pre-defined lengths and transported to the factory as logs. Or finally (d), the
logger opts for chipping the whole trees rather than delimbing and crosscutting
them.
