Answer

Is it safe to cut up a storm-damaged tree yourself in Mallorca?

Not if the tree is near cables, unstable or blocking access to a home. In Mallorca, storm-damaged trees can shift suddenly, and broken lines may still be live even when they do not look active. It is safer to wait for trained crews when there is any doubt about structural damage or electrical risk.
