– Q. Can I sell my trees over Passover and let them hire someone to cut them over on Chol Hamoed? Can I do this with a fruit tree that is rotting away?
A. Although it may be the right time for the trees to be cut, one should not do it during Chol Hamoed, rather before or after.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
