ABSTRACT A method of processing trees and integrated plant for processing whole trees. In the integrated plant there is a tree collecting and storage area with a boom unit for picking up trees in the storage area and moving them to an infeed area in front of the plurality of processing units. The processing units are located side-by-side and each consist of an infeed boom, means to delimb trees and means to support at least one log after the limbs have been removed. Each unit is reciprocably movable at a direction transverse to the length of the trees in the storage area and operative to pick up trees one at a time from the infeed area and move them endwise and in so doing remove the limbs from the tree Means are provided to collect the limbs and process the same and there is a receiving deck for the delimbed trees with a conveyor located below the tree support means and operative to receive the delimbed logs from all of the processing units and convey the logs to a sorting and distribution system having means associated therewith operative to buck the logs into selected lengths, debark selected logs, chip further selected logs, process the chips and convey the removed bark to the means for processing the limbs, The method involves piling prefelled whole trees in a tree collecting area in front of a tree processing plant, aligning a boom and processing unit associated therewith trees in the pile by shifting the boom and processing unit at a direction transverse to the length of the piled trees. The trees are picked up by the processing unit one after the other and fed endwise through the processing unit to remove the limbs and as the limbs are removed they are directed onto conveying means which convey them to a processing unit. The tree trunk is supported during the delimbing thereof above another conveyor means that moves the delimbed tree trunks laterally one after the other in series to a sorting and distribution system for further handling and processing of the delimbed logs.
