Here in the Pacific Northwest, tree country, I have never seen any
other way except for when trees are layed over indiscriminately as
part of a clearing operation.

Depends on the quality of the crew.... But I always use a good tree
service and don't do it myself, If the tree could hit anything other
then the ground (I've done enough that I've seen them land every
direction, including the direction I wanted)
