Cutting down trees

[AlittleSalt]

I agree Worth. With too many trees in an area, they don't grow well. They are all fighting for sunlight - the smaller trees won't make it because of this. I'll take a picture tomorrow (when it's sunny) of an area that has way too many Elm trees growing/dying in it. It's overcast and rainy today.

A storm is brewing so I shut the operation down.
I might get enough sunlight in this fenced in area for some stuff.
I need to notify my neighbor to move his stuff off my property so I don't damage it when I cut the last two down.
We can put it back when I am through.
It will be the second picture.

You need a pet alligator.

lots of good firewood. Chop 'em down!

Salt, that really does look like a marsh.
If you removed all the vegetation, it may flood a lot worse.

Worth your place really reminds me of mine. Naturally hilly terrain.
It's a lot more interesting than land that has been plowed flat.

I need to cut some trees though. Big time.

It is where a lot the water runoff goes. The property behind this is lower than ours so the water runs off pretty quickly. I cannot cut the trees because all of us likes walking under the 50'+ tall trees. It is exactly like walking in a forest. Those trees are the first to bloom out too.

We do need to go in there and clean out the dead wood. The taller trees are just to the left and right of where I took the picture.

I really like seeing pictures showing familiar natural vegetation in a far-away country. It reminds me of the thoughts of American astronauts when they noticed from above how small our world was. Our problems are the same everywhere : how to keep tidy and improve the place we enjoy living in.

U-pick tree farm or order some beavers from ebay.

With the trees cut back I could set sand bags on my kitchen table set my 220 Swift on them and plug deer on the back side of the place.
There are a pile of them back there I can see.

You can send a back strap this way, since you have a pile and all. Happy to oblige.

Worth you are a true Texan. First down with the trees and then away with the wildlife.

There is no way I would shoot that deer she has a yearling following her.

As for the trees I feel bad about it but the other ones were suffering.
I have the same problem in the front yard.
The Cedar Elm is a beautiful shade tree when it has room to grow and spread out.

Looking at the trees cut in post #17 on this thread - I would have cut those trees too with full intentions of making the area better for nature and mankind. I can see the wheels turning.

well, when you own a property you would want to put it into best use , as far as you are concerned.
