Mo's post #16 comment about the wives getting rid of us sparked my comments on post #17. That's how the thread took a turn. Didn't mean to de-rail it !! I just get a kick out of some of Mo's point blank comments. I don't think he knows what " sugar-coating " means !!

I didn't like the way they felt when hinging them. Their hard and they kinda snap crackled when I pulled them with the tree hook.
After that I chose multiple trucked ones.
I only did about 50. I want to wait til this summer to see how they react. I have a suspicion I'd be better of cutting them to the ground so they sprout like mad.

Bill, the property I inherited came with a TON of young sycamore trees! Gonna be doing some similar hinging of them here in the coming weeks and like you said the few I have done in the past (literally only 2 or 3 in a clump I was doing) they felt brittle when hinged and only one partly lived but the stump sent plenty of shoots and suckers.
Got a cluster between plots in the fallow field of around 100 of the suckers. Gonna go in hinge about 25, clean cut near ground 25 and leave the rest for potential failure filler.
