What Is The Best Time Of Year To Chop Down A Tree?
These things keep sprouting up on my property, like weeds. I don’t know if they are Giant Redwoods or what.

I can guarantee they’re not the endangered giant Sequoia which are illegal to cut down.

The time of year is unimportant if you are cutting down a tree. Some species are finished once you chop them off. Others that are prone to sending up new shoots after being cut simply sit dormant until growing conditions are right. If you have redwoods they will not grow back from the stump. You may be seeing sprouts from new seeds each time.

Don’t chop. Relocate. Springtime.

I would say autumn since they drop all the leaves, there is less debris for you to pick up.
To prevent new sprouts from coming out you can apply a stomp killer or cheaper yet apply a mixture of sand and diesel fuel to the cut while it still fresh and that for sure will kill it.

Lemme check.
ME: "Hey tree, when’s a good time for you to have an axe bite into your bark so deep that you topple over, and then a saw slices and dices you into itty bitty pieces with your sap blood running all over the place?"
TREE: "2925"
There, you heard it first from the tree’s mouth. If it had one.

Any time is OK to cut down tree,s, but you might want to leave a couple for shade purposes in the warmer weather.

chop them down during the winter.
personally, I’d prefer to have a few trees around – during the summer to provide some shade.

in the late fall or winter after the leaves have fallen. then it is easier you deal with the small branches and if there are pieces big enough to use for fire wood or camp fire it will dry out faster because all the sap is down in the roots. I have a few things that keep coming back but i stopped fighting it and now i keep them pruned and growing straight till they are big enough for walking sticks and then i take them to SCA events and sell them.

winter because they are not getting alot of nutrients it needs to stay strong so it is easier to chop down

When it is frozen in deep cold winter. very easy because the sap is not moving. And the wood is more brittle. Also no leave to clean up.

fall or spring.
I imagine the morning is the best time; I hear people talk about wood in the morning all the time.
