They are set for years to come. Massachusetts didn't even get it that bad. Rhode Island and Connecticut are worse. -
Unfortunately it was the larger trees that took the brunt of the Gypsy moth infestation. I have a bunch 10 to 15 ft in circumference standing dead. Not worth my time to saw them up.

Yeah maybe we can pull a 60 out on Sunday they've been few and far between this month. Extended March. accumulating snow to much of interior, heaviest over the higher elevations. Improving conditions Saturday night with a mild and breezy Sunday on tap. Weather pattern then becomes more active again after Sunday night, with several storm systems to watch thru Tuesday. Temperatures to trend cooler than normal into midweek

Thanks for the offer but I have plenty. If you're going to be felling stuff yourself do it soon. What's standing is starting to get sketchy.
-
If they look sickly they are dead. Folks are going to be surprised at how many more gypsy moth dead trees they have when Leaf out comes.
-
We flake.

From the wind storm?

They grow fast initially then slow way down. That's how the grain gets so tight. First picture is from today the second is from 1890 or so . Same trees (three trees on the left in the old picture)
-
Here's an illustration of how strong. Watch the first few second . The tree explodes, never seen it with another species. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=556wi8ujaGc

Perfect weather for working outside. Anything but rain is fine with me .

Totally agree on the black Birch. When it's green it weighs a ton! Lot of wasted work to cut, haul, and split for a low quality wood. Yes Locust has a shallow root system. That's the only way they ever come down.
-
Yep, they actually plant it where erosion is a problem. Grows anywhere.
-
As the strongest timber in North America, black locust helped build Jamestown and hardened the navy that decided the War of 1812, yet today few Americans have heard of it. The nation's taste in ornamental trees has changed fairly dramatically since the first street plantings were made in Williamsburg, Virginia, in the 1730s.

Highest BTU wood east of the Rockies. I don't have any problem splitting it with a hydraulic splitter might be a different story with a maul
-
Sure. Just let me know height and approximate width
-
Two words. Black locust.
-
Bring the downriggers up a few feet and throw some Chum. Not a lot biting this morning.
-
Ain't spring wonderful!
-
Whoa that's some serious ass rain. Thankfully we only got an inch around here. Ponds are topped off we don't need any more.
-
Screen print please.
-
Got a feeling I'm going to be roping some trees tomorrow ️ ☹️ I fall for it every time.
-
Might be time to call Ray into service. Speaking only for my area very forgettable.
-
My lights have been flickering. I don't think we had a gust much past 40 around today.
-
And dampen the fires.
