Quaking Aspen and How to Harvest the Bark with Michael Pilarski "Skeeter"

[@pollyvidal8659]

It was the “Go, Aspen, go!” for me. Amazing video. Got here accidentally and now I’m learning so much!

One of aspen’s handy behaviours is the way it drops branches in windstorms. I’ve use a lot of aspen over the years and I find the younger windfall branches and twigs serve my purposes very well.

You made this extremely pleasant and fun. Thank you for the practical info.

In my area they are bent over in heavy wet snowfall that bends the trees with almost every tree permanently bent until they shoot out growing straight up again.

[@SirelyaThompson-bo3sl]

Are you able to just strip it, and still leave the trees standing? Or does it rot & kill the tree after you cut its protective layer?

[@margaretskinner6972]

Real interesting you should have more views!!

Ty Skeeter for your wisdom. But cutting the branch is not like taking hair from the dog. It's a limb. It grows back but the tree still feels it. ❤
