    Now it’s my turn for digital issues :picard:
    It’s a list of where the Osage trees are hiding in

    Come up here in a few weeks, I'm taking a medium sized mulberry down, you can take the whole load home with ya! We'll even set up the SuperSplitter at the jobsite and you can process it on the spot!

    At that age tree, would it still be producing that fruit? Sorry random question Scotty, I think I wanna get some of these trees for the property we have been waiting to get working on. At least get these way out near the pasture.

    I don't know how heavy a log of mulberry is, but here in NE Texas, everyone knows how heavy boisdarc is.

    Dem horse apple trees are pointy, heavy, and usually gnarly limbed.

    Sheesh, I assume that "circ" means "cirumference," and, thus, that Enfield tree is 44" DBH! That is huge. I've never seen a hedge that big, I guess they grow that big.
