See my other 2 videos about treating tall trees

Right ????

Oh shit ….

Agree, It may Still early enough there bursting with energy still not the best idea by far and not all will survive that's for sure! Definitely the wrong time for lifting or repotting white pine when any new growth has started! The candles at that length are ready for pruning not root Disruption! Hope he's got alot sphagnum and mycelium fungi for the root stress that's for sure! Amateurs man hurts everytime see a tree die!

See the description for two options. We just ordered one.

I was looking that up the other day and had no luck.

Yes it lives on oaks and hickories but doesn't kill them. The tree in this video will die if it's not an American-Asian hybrid chestnut or one of the Darling genetically modified trees.

We have those and the hemlock wooly adelgid here in southern NH. Black birch seems to be taking over the forests because deer leave it alone when they have oak and maple seedlings to eat.

Yes, but only briefly on an AMC forestry tour this past May. Apparently silver maple was not valued for charcoal, so it was the only species not cut during the iron smelting era of the late 1800s. How interesting!

there are many differences posted on the internet, but main thing is American Chestnuts used to grow tall! the tallest in the eastern forests and had large leaves and small chestnuts, wood was good for lumber since it grew so tall

In the UK you likely have Sweet (European) Chestnut (Castanea sativa). They aren't native. The Romans brought the first ones and Spain sent others from Galicia as a gift on the wedding of Catherine of Aragon to the Prince of Wales. Both sources host the endemic Hypovirus that confers limited protection from chestnut blight. Sweet chestnuts prefer to sprawl like oaks if they have the room. They have large (~1oz), low-fat nuts, often described as mealy. American chestnuts (Castanea dentata) tend to grow tall and straight which made them valuable as timber trees. The nuts are smaller than sweet chestnuts (1/4 to 3/4oz), higher in fat, with a sweet nutty taste. Asian chestnuts were bred as ornamental and orchard trees. They're dwarf, parasol-shaped trees usually with large nuts. The quality of Asian nuts is variable. Many Asian-American hybrids exist in North America as part of efforts to preserve the tree from extinction.

Yes, look at the webinars in my Webinar Playlist. Irregular shelterwood.

Thank you very much@@tmimotf

@@tmimotf Quick follow-up, how to you get continuing education credits after viewing? Thanks and excellent content

Watch the older weevil video from 2020, and at the end, you will find all the details. In brief, we use bifenthrin (Talstar) mixed in water.

I suspect that that planting thousands this way might allow natural selection to produce resistance. It couldn't hurt and at least if a few escape long enough to seed then it gives hope for nature to keep hope alive.

Thanks. I think the new Woodland Mills upgrade will do the job.

Just remove the stock crank and attach the Makita, like it was a drill bit, using its on-board chuck key.

@@tmimotf thank you!

You need to vary the feed rate based on log size, species, etc so a fixed-rate feeder would not be optimal. Plus I don't mind the exercise. Yes, the first slab was a bit thick; I might have got a 4" board from it, but we were trying to finish and I didn't want to fool with any extra edging for such small boards.

@@tmimotf You can them them with variable speed settings but I get the exercise part, thanks.

​@@rickvaiBBB I get more "steps" on my phone and Fitbit when sawmilling than any other daily activity.

Not my experience. Very well engineered, nothing broke yet.
