My main food plot that houses 16 fruit trees is pretty full. I want to leave some tillable for greens for a one two punch. I had a friend John Eberhart hunt my place and he reccomended extending my field out a 100 yard finger lane point and add apple trees along it. He tacked a tree for me and I actually killed an ancient property legend last year out of the tree.
My question is in order to plant the finger/lane id have to drop some maple trees. Ive already been told by a forester that the hillside below this lane approximately 1 to 1.5 acres needs canopy opened and a reccomended old field regrowth here. Will i have to spray/kill stumps from the trees I take out? If so what do i need to know? I dont have access to a dozer or backhoe.
I have 9 crabs coming from northern whitetail and blue hill. I get a lot of bedding off of this point and feel this would be a strong staging area before they enter the greenfield and orchard. Will the stump roots compete with the apple trees? Plan is to push cut trees into brush piles. Thanks in advance!
