Osagejack.  when you say the sap is rising, what does that do that causes you to not cut osage?

that just means the tree is filling back up with water,,in the winter the sap is down less water,,when the sap is up the bark will slip and they are more prone to cracking and splitting,,the wood will be soaked with sap,,,i am sure someone on here can explain it better than me,,
