Hi all-
Deer season is coming to a close here in NC & I've been reviewing my mental "work list"for next year. One thing I'm considering is thinning out patches of oaks, sweet gum & cherry trees that are in the regenerating pines.
Landowner wants to keep the pines, has talked about replanting with long-leaf but at 5 years after the cutting & regrowth, i don't see that happening. So would it be benefit us to go in & clear out the hardwoods around the pines? or just do a hack & squirt?
Also would it help to try & thin out the pines,pick out the best looking ones or just let them grow? This is North side of property,20 acre leg.
South side facing east.Theres about 6 acres here of pine regen..
