I prefer to buy logs that are cut in the summer or fall just to avoid the mess that 100 ton of logs can make.mp4 wrote:I'll have to try that...real soon.byersfarm wrote:If a hickory tree is cut when the sap is rising, it will shed most of its bark when it dries.
I've got about 40 acres of woods behind my house with a substantial population of hickory. Something is killing then in our area so I don't expect they'll be healthy for too much longer. I had a logger look at it a couple years ago and he said I had the healthiest stand he had seen for quite a while with only about 15-20% affected. I hope to get out there as soon as the muddy season passes and get a years worth pulled out.byersfarm wrote:I prefer to buy logs that are cut in the summer or fall just to avoid the mess that 100 ton of logs can make.mp4 wrote:I'll have to try that...real soon.byersfarm wrote:If a hickory tree is cut when the sap is rising, it will shed most of its bark when it dries.
