Good subject matter. Thanks

Love to see an update on the trees.

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

@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.

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.

does the tube not reduce the amount of light available to the tree for photosynthesis?

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”.

Well put. People like this, make growing so complex and complicated. Just learn permaculture
