This is what northern Ontario lumberjacks call chicots...
"WHAT IS A CHICOT? A chicot is a tree that has either become dry or rotten. There are various reasons for this occurrence, either from normal aging or special conditions such as species extinction, climate, insect infestation, disease or human activity. Also commonly known as widow-makers, chicots pose a tremendous hazard in the woods and they need to be treated with respect." - worksafenb.ca
