Any recommendations on the proper way to remove lower branches that have died off? I have been pruning my white pines for the last 15 years. Unfortunately, a small number of my larger, nicer trees died within 2 years after initially removing the dead branches from the bottom of the tree. It appeared to be insect related, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's something I did incorrectly or if there is something I could have done to prevent the trees from getting sick.
Once the settling area backs up with water (say it isn’t infiltrating in the early spring due to frozen soil), doesn’t it just back up into the road? Ultimately is this really cheaper and quicker than putting a super elevation crown on the road and digging localized ditches?
Makes sense considering whenever you walk through a natural pine forest, you don’t see many (if any) white pines with damaged boles caused by the weevils.
For the most part it’s survival of the fittest on my property. I try to give some protection when I direct plant White and Burr oaks nuts. But once the nut is used up the tubes comes off. Doing the same this year with American Chestnuts.
Build a ton of cell tower roads w water bars...bury the rocks in line in the burm...or that won’t last one season...crown the road...yea my grandad was a country road grader operator...in the west UP...js
Excellent video. My dad recently clear cut several acres of our hunting ground and I'm encouraging him to go in the direction of artificial regeneration instead of natural regeneration. I'm getting in touch of a forestry buddy of mine who can recommend hardwoods that will match well with the site.
@hunchoz t ya, the natural processes will not replace a predominately hardwood forests with more hardwoods. You can see evidence of this through out the north east hardwood forests.
thousands of years before creating such tools , oaks and other trees have been growing all over the world , without all the complexity of monitoring the shape of the root and the depth of the "holes" , please simplify the process to see more young people start doing this instead of disturb them in all these rules and instructions , and thanks for the video
“Thousands of years before...” There was no commercial timbering programs. He’s is increasing the success of the saplings by doing what he is doing. Protecting them and planting them with spacing. Something Mother Nature will not do. This process is not that complex. Hopefully the youth of today won’t see this as “too complicated”.
Love to see an update on the trees.
Aren't these rolling dips?
Good subject matter. Thanks
Why only every other tree?
Do you sell these/?????????
Do you sell this press and if so, where may I find one? Thank you kindly
That bulldozer operator is an artist
Bro what a waste of time.
Wtf is this

does the tube not reduce the amount of light available to the tree for photosynthesis?
Age of these Plants??
Thanks you🌱 for planting oak trees🌱 👍🌱😊🌱🌿🍃🌳🌲to save our planet 🌱🌍🌏🌎🌱🌿🍃🌳🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌲🌺🌸🌼🌱🌳🌲🌱🌿🍃🌲🌳🕊🌱🌳
What time of the year?
Where are they sold at ? Price??
Harvest not mow
Food plots huh. I call it logged woods. Your trash. Your farming our land after logging our woods out. Your guys make old time dnr sick.
During fast runoff (storm or snow melt), won't the "swale" become a washout?

Where do you buy these?
Smoky lake maple makes one similar
Dude cut the music!
If you change the playback speed it’s like techno gardening and can get through the videos and information quickly 🤔🤙🤷♂️
Should have thrown those "cobles" in to the settling pond. Would help slow down the erosion within the pond.
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
In the Forest Service we called those Coweeta Dips.
It has been three years. How is this study going? What are you excited about? What are some of the disappointments?

God Bless you Sir!

Yup - but you know these 'engineering/operators', they're cute at that age.

@hunchoz t Sure. If you like pine trees that are going to crowd out your hardwood and degrade the habitat.

Im 14
Well put. People like this, make growing so complex and complicated. Just learn permaculture
are you seeing a lot of weevil damage and forking in the pine stems?
love the intense music
What cultivars where planted? Interested to see the outcome in a much colder area.
anyone sell a seeds?
Helpful and Informative. Thank you MSU!
