A method and apparatus which permit a tree fetching member to continuously feed trees to harvesting apparatus without waiting for a previously deposited tree to be handled is characterized by having a single member function both as a means for lifting a tree to the handling line from a temporary holding location in the apparatus, below the handling line, and also as a lopping or delimbing knife. This lopping knife, which is rotatable about a horizontal, longitudinal axis, raises one tree at a time over its turning axis to the handling line. Then, acting as a feeding member, it takes part in the lopping operation in conjunction with other lopping knives which are intended for lopping only. The rotatable lopping knife is the sole means for raising a tree to the handling line.
