    I don’t like Hawthorn, and this, as well as the Honeysuckle, was on the list to die. 9B144358-0A06-4A30-BB8B-C3B7DE851861.jpeg 674C4F44-1A40-4178-8665-F404715E3266.jpeg 739251CC-9E64-4B3F-A2D0-8EFCDDC97626.jpeg 359C0C68-8BB9-4C68-8367-5C15AD9E60A6.jpeg

    That's erratic!

    Kayaking on the lake by you there's spots you can look down through 20' of water and see jumbles of those - quite impressive, as is that one.

    My rocks were acting like icebergs in the pastures, and I kept polishing their tops with the mower.

    I moved a small larch and those bugs that attack the leader on pines did the same thing to that larch. Iirc I've been spraying a synthetic pyrethrin on some other trees that we're nurturing along, I think it's called permethrin. Good for all sorts of bugs (including spraying your clothes for tics). As far as that type of chemical it seems semi natural as true pyrethrin is made from chrysanthemums.

    Wouldn't it be more paperish? Or that stops when old? It was near alot of white birch.

    I'm thinking possibly Basswood or popple / aspen. My yellow birch never get's a bark like that and always has a yellow (ish) color. Not as smooth as paper or grey birch, but still with the birch "look" to it. Try to skin off the bark, with Basswood it pulls off in long strips pretty easy clean down to the log. It has a use as trim lumber and the carvers like it, but I leave mine either on the forest floor to feed the soil, or throw it in the wet areas for tractor access. (corduroy)

    That was what I was thinking to but it didn't look like the other stuff I cut up. I'm working an area with alot of birch. This storm put that on hold!

    It sure can get out of hand and puts up a heck of a fight trying to reclaim a field.
