yellow/orange instead! Red oak had fallen last year way back in the woods, so it got cut up first after a quick tractor ride. Then there was a dead white oak on the edge of my yard, not very big but close enough to house it had to come down. It was a stiff north wind shy of landing on our deck. Last there was a medium sized beech in the center of our back yard that was diseased, and the bark was cracking and peeling. Fungus was growing on it, but it was still blooming last summer. I figured it was beyond self repair and to whack it down as well. Official start to firewood season for me today, this wood is for ‘21-22 more than likely.
Looks like some easy pickings right there. I have lost two beech trees and more showing signs of decline. Check out beech bark disease
Snows metled, its 50* + today, but it will be single digits tonight. Where everyone else is geting feet of snow today, we are getting several inches of rain. The beech perished because I was lazy when we first moved here and used it as a target backstop for my .22 lol... The white oak never was however.
