Planting Pines for Lumber | Fast Growing Timber! Shade for Livestock!

These trees are planted pines. This is a second generation lobly pine that is probably 15 18 ft high. Some of these are upwards of 30 ft high. I left these in the pasture because on my previous pastures that I cleared, I didn't leave any shade for the dag on cows. Eventually, all this over here will be fenced and uh I'll have the cows over here grazing. So, what we got to do, uh, when I come in here to mow, this is a hazard for the tractor. Like, the tractors cannot get close enough to these trees. So, I'm going to go in all around the edge here eventually, and I'm going to chip up all the brush and debris around the edges. See those limbs? From about there down, all them limbs got to go. Now, we got some good stuff in here that we can use for fatwood. uh as we cut these limbs off. And I'm going to go all the way up as high pretty much as I can reach uh with the pole saw. We're just going to have the tops of the trees hanging in here. The fatwood is right in here. And I'll show you guys all that stuff. There's two options that I could do here. And I'm going to try a couple different things. I'm going to leave some of the fatwood in place to see if it gets even juicier. If you don't know what fatwood is, it's what we start our fire with. Fatwood basically is just very very densely rosened pine.
