I once worked with a guy named Shortsleeve. It sounds like your name could be worse than that. Maybe Lipscomb? You said you’re 1/4 Sioux, is it an...
Score! That’s one heck of a deal for $20 :thumbs:
My guess is that since the two are coevolved species, the long term damage to the trees will be negligible. As for our native trees that haven't...

I top cover everything, even rot resistant black locust. Learned my lesson with dead ash a couple years back when it started getting soft being...

Hmmm. That pronounced white stripe has me thinking Siberian elm still. The size of the trunk too. Most American/red elms succumb to DED long...
