thanks for this video. Really nice to get your thought process when assessing every tree. Awesome

This was really cool to learn, thanks for sharing the process 😻

Another very interesting video. You have similar stands that I have here in Michigan with lots of balsam, spruce and maple. I need to buy tree marking paint though. The regular spray paint you buy at the store definitely doesn't show up as well, I found that out last fall. Thanks for posting and I look forward to your next video.

How many acres was this stand again?

at times it's better to cut nearby trees to 'reduce competition' between them. at others, you want to avoid cutting nearby trees because it puts the others 'at risk'. are particular species more particularly vulnerable or competitive, or is it more dependent upon the exposure of that part of the stand to wind/erosion/etc? how do you distinguish between these scenarios? thanks.

[@Suptiche12]

stated differently, how can you tell when nearby trees are competing with each other, versus when they're relying upon each other?

I would like to know what will become of the balsam fir. They probably won’t become Christmas trees.
