Village left some ash trunks for me. My Stihl MS 462 CM ran for the first time this year. Bill was my spotter. Tomorrow at the crack of dawn i will move the rounds away from wondering eyes. I have the rounds at the tree line of the creek. Felt good to cut. Chris, i love The Woidchuck. I was cutting on a hill and the Woidchuck held everything in place. No toast tomorrow. Wheaties for sure.

Do all tree growers do the same thing basically. ? I did a review on a 4” Saker Mini Electric Chainsaw the other day. I would be handy for cutting the ones that the trimmer has trouble with. It’s light weight and you can hang it of your belt or pocket to carry it. I cut a little trail in my woods yesterday with it, for my garden tractor to go through. I cut up a poplar tree the other day to with it. All but the trunk. Have a great day.

$40-50 is the average price people pay on the lot or stump cut around her for balsam trees. You might be comparing Frazer fir trees, much more pricey here too. But if you can get a few/bunch of people who you can get to have you make a haul maybe it would be worth it for you???

I can't help but wonder, what is Nature trying to accomplish by growing more top leaders that in a year or two match the size of the leader you left? - You have enough Charlie Brown trees to justify buying a bag or two of fertilizer, help 'em out. - Those 20-30ft. trees could still be utilized. Dad told me about a time in the Depression he got a job on a Chritmas tree crew. They went somewhere in northern New York. It was a hard winter. Hundreds of beautiful trees. They cut, dragged, bundled,...did very well. That spring or summer he was back in the same area, but couldn't find the tree farm they had been working on. All he found was a whole bunch of 15-20ft. trees with the pointed tops cut off!! An enduring mystery! He did say it was a hard, snowy winter... to give me a clue. In my defense, I wasn't very old. - You were doing a nice Indian dance trimming, then the music started, I kept waiting for you to fall on you a**, and the local EMT's to cart you off somewhere, but you never showed that! Good editing!!!! GNI

If a tree is weak in color, light and not a deep green, we do through a couple handfuls of 10-10-10 on them and they do well. They all fill out eventually. The extra leaders happens after trimming until it starts to fill out better.
