Some tsi... stem count reduction

[G-Man]

So one of my winter projects  I only got half done  due to injury and snow..  a hard maple stand that hasn't grown in 30years ,years, rings are 1/32  on an inch or smaller for last 30 year..  the goal was to put some food on ground and open up canopy  so  growth would occur.  

I was able to use some of these for bolts for cultivating shiiatke mushrooms.   Have more to do  just ran out of time and lost a day when friend I was cutting with got hurt pretty bad when tree bounced and hit him in shoulder , tearing tendons and ligaments in shoulder and partial tears in knee as it bowled him over....   so more to do next year ( about 2 acres left to do)

TSI is a  passion of mine also. The larger the tree canopy, the faster they will grow. I spend a lot of time opening up my forest so new growth can occur. 

Be safe !
