Pole saw, just reach up cut that holding wood a little. Once down either drag it out with something or undercut it chunk by chunk until it wants to fall all the way.
Polesaw. Without I'd try to pull it with equipment. Those small trees move so darn fast that cutting above or below the break is always dicey.
If that top wasn't so hung up I'd try to get it unstuck with a vehicle and work my way down the tree.

I would cut it down
with a chainsaw . If that don't work a choker will drag it out from there .I have had bigger trees hung up before and had good luck dropping another tree across it also ,the weight of the impact will break it or bring it on down .I am kinda diggin Uncles method though .

Dropping a second tree doesn't always work. Big chance that you may end up with more stuck trees then you started with.
If it can't be winched, I usually just undercut it piece by piece until the tree is down.

Very true ,it is possible to hang the second one up ,this one is in an open enough area i would not have to do that ,the choker would drag it out quicker .

Simple to do Brian, plunge in, cut down and then up if you want to show off. Lol
Or cut a shallow top kerf then finish with an upcut.

Seriously though it needs to be severed from the stump first then do the above.Even ******* can cut leaners. Lol

That is exactly how i do overhead stuff ,bore in then feel the tree up and down in the cut ,then nip the top or bottom strap to finish it off without pinching the bar .

I'd set up a few and get some good weight and speed going breaking the hanger.

Boring snags is a great way to break stuff on yer saw. If i could reach it i'd buck it off after the break. If not you can face it left, right, or backwards depending on the push. Sometimes a salami to slip it off the stump one way or the other. The fun way would be to slam it with another one though.

I got closer to it,it is about 9 feet off the ground,picture looks shorter ,also the power feeding my home is just behind the top of this tree,it will get a choker and a tug with my pickup to pull it towards the road ,i will put tention on it ,then make a face opposite the lean,a reg backcut then drive away to pull it from the power lines
