That's the whole point, there's no way I can "cut away at the other
side of the trunk", the other side of the trunk is in the middle with
three other trunks preventing access to it.


It strikes me that if you cut through the first one it can only fall the
one way given that the others are in the way. That should give a little
elbow room to cope with the remaining trunks.

Yes, however there is the minor problem that the chain saw will be
pinched in the cut long before the tree falls.
