Look in the front right - the large tree and the man arm out.

The wedge cut by axe from both sides so a thin wedge remained in the
center. They then sawed that wedge off until it fell - Might have
cleaned the split out of the base, but the base in the foreground
is a massive one spreading out in the left foreground.
That was so large, it isn't likely the same stump.

If they were of the same constitution as locust they'd probably still be
standing there... a lot harder to chop and saw.
Since the red wood was nice and soft they were hacked down...

....a blame the victim philosophy!
