Check the difference between these:

The first one is the one I have, there a significant difference ;). 
28inch is 72cm - which is pretty much for an axe. Still it's stable and 
fast to handle, when you know it.

Making a tree come down with an axe ain't easy. You'll need to cut with 
the right angle to get optimal get-trough time and still the mess will 
be awful. I'd advice a saw for even a little bit bigger trees and one of 
these to the smallest ones:

Even then it's technical thing to get the tree down, actually :p. 
Usually it's one hit with that brush axe to one little tree.

Heh, that's life :).
