SD, I bet there’s a lot more desirable trees under the snow just waiting for sunlight in the spring. I think so. Most of those fledgling balsam firs were completely covered in just 3-4" of snow. The ones I found had just a few needles sticking out. I've got a really big exclusion cage back there I should throw on that cluster of ROD I found. I've abandoned the idea of caging individual RODs around the woods. I'm gonna save that cage instead for maybe some apple or plum trees in spring. I had an adviser tell me to just get the chainsaw going and good things will follow.

Art, The survey on the 14 acres we just bought still has bearing trees marked on it. I’m surprised on a newer survey they would’ve done that verses driving pins. There’s pins on each corner though. When was the original survey done in your neck of the woods? Where I live here in farm country, oak stakes were used for the corners of sections. They are long gone and so are bearing trees. I’m not sure it was originally surveyed. They mentioned pastures and neighboring properties. On the new survey done in 2010 they mention certain trees. It’s just weird that they’d still do that.

That’s when the town was incorporated. I have no idea. I just know the land parcels here are usually not square or even rectangle. They’d go by streams, hills, trees, etc.
