JML, if you leave live branches below the chop, it is a different thing. Much better chance for the tree to live. Listen to Tony, he knows from where he speaks. Another thought would be to do an airlayer. This wouls keep the upper part of the tree and in effect make it shorter by having roots grow from up the trunk. Read about it and see what you think!
