Abstract: Apparatus for delimbing felled trees including an elongate support along which a tree may be carried longitudinally through the apparatus. The support is foldable for shortening for transport. Powered driving means are operable to draw a tree through the apparatus and flexible shearing cutters are positioned to be wrapped about a tree to shear limbs therefrom as it is drawn through the apparatus. The limbs sheared from the tree are fed into a chipper which reduces them to chips. Side shifting conveyors downstream from the cutters are operable to deposit a tree to one side of the support after it has been delimbed.
