Thanks for vid. I treated 150 white pines on my property this spring and only had (1)!!! Leader killed!! Many more the previous year. I need a bigger wand like you’ve got

Looking forward to seeing it in action. I reference your videos often. Thanks

I was a classmate of Mac Hunter at UMaine in the early 70s. The comment was made that he wasn’t a forester, but a wildlife ecologist. This is true, but students in the wildlife degree program in that era had a strong forestry course component. You could almost say forestry was a second area of specialty for the wildlife mgmt. majors. UMaine was a premier university to study forestry and wildlife mgmt,

Such a shame that beeches are being ravaged by bark disease all over New England. They were always one of my favorite trees and I have fond memories of being out in pure stands of beech that were absolutely magnificent. Of course it has enormous ecological importance too. One more tree species being removed from our forests.

What are you going to do when the trees are 10 feet tall? I have a small tree being attacked by them and I don’t know what to do.

Every time I did it this way they died.

thanks BOB

How did they take with the candles so far developed?

Bob, please wear a microphone so we can hear you.

Hi; is anyone having any luck finding one of these saws. They aren't available in Canada- so i'm told.

What insecticide works best?

I love trees, and own a tree preserve, but not sure why this is video worthy. You act like this is unique. There are over a million American chestnut trees this size or smaller in the US alone. They just die from blight by age 15 or so. If this tree grows into a foot diameter or wider, then you'll have something. The trunk protectors are not some "Cadillac" thing. I do that for every tree I plant, lol.

I am so envious of the markets you folks have few lower value products(less desirable species). We largely can only sell red spruce with side deals for small amounts of hemlock or pine at sad prices no matter the quality. A clear pine or hemlock butt log is worth the same as a crocked top(sells by the ton). Unfortunately hemlock out competes most species growing on my woodlot(seriously) and we now have hemlock adelid within a mile of us. The idea of a timber sale....wishful thinking. The few contractors left all pretty all much cater to one big mill with little interest/ability to work on small private woodlots other than flatten them and walk away with no follow up. 0 market for any kind of pulp or hard wood logs. A sad place to be...kevin veinotte . Nova Scotia .

There are plenty of American Chestnuts in the Maryland mountains, it's just that few reach maturity before getting knocked back to the stump with blight. Still, there's a very good chance that there's a burr dropping specimen on a nearby ridge within pollinating distance. Good on you for helping to restore these magnificent trees.

OMG you supposed to keep the root dirt on it not pull em up dry roots, you ain't got but a few minutes to transfer those before you lose them

Great to see you planting Bur oak Bob, I have planted some at my home from seed I collected in Dover-Foxcfroft. They are very slow growing trees and I find they prefer full sun. Good luck with this planting, I hope they do well!

Glad to see!!

I have never seen this and being a fan of pole saws anyway and suffering with my back nowadays I'm sold now just I have to find one in the UK.

Starts at 1:52...

GOD bless U if those are PURE AC

Yay! I am glad you are doing this. Don’t believe the naysayers. I wish I had a cutting and could do the same. I remember the American Chestnuts near Philadelphia when growing up and loved them.

That's a good specimen , but the blight can live on other trees . Good luck and keep us posted !

A part of Maine I myself will never see, so thanks for taking me there. Love big trees/unique natural areas.

I was thinking of planting a few chestnut trees in the Dover Foxcroft area on my property. Where can I get some nuts(seeds), and tip and suggestions on growing would be most appreciated! Thanks, Mark

but why would you think it would escape because no other chestnuts are around? I think the blight affects oaks and other trees so the fungus is everywhere

do they survive in Maine because of the colder winters? kills most of the blight so it has to restart all over the next warm season

Unfortunately oak trees act as a reservoir for the blight.

We're seeing Japanese knotweed, autumn olive and buckthorn here in southern NH. The knotweed is the worst though.

It’ll be interesting in the coming years to see what happens after beech leaf disease and EAB blows through.

what just one piece of paper will stop the deer?

Great video thank you.

Have you ever investigated the silver maple floodplain on the Pleasant River near KI? It's ethereal.

Hmm there are chestnut trees in my area that have leaves that look a lot like those but I dont know what type of chestnut trees they are but they are very old, at least 50 to 70 years old, but they are in the UK. what are the distinctive differences between the american chestnut tree and the european ? I looked up some information showing the leaf shapes and it fits the american or european but its still not clear to me.

Any continuing ed opportunities online for this type of silvicultural system?

Very cool! Love seeing the old untouched forests

Thanks much for this video! My son has a property that he purchased and has about a 4 acre pine planting with some spruce mixed in. Earlier this summer i noticed 1 white pine that the terminal bud was wilting and i didn't know what was going on with the tree until today i seen the tell-tale signs of this little pest. Could you please give me the spelling of what you use and the correct mixture? Thank you so much! Ron

Good work

I'd like to get my daughter engaged in this. I believe she's very well suited for this

Congratulations! 🎉

I hope you can show us a 1 year update

Nice machine you got there I got AHM126 it's an older one but it works good keep on Cutting🎉🎉

Hi Bob just wondering if there is a blister rust problem there with them growing so tight I'm having a problem with my white pine regeneration in a red pine plantation I think because of too much shade I have to prune off infected branches throughout the year

Beautiful!

I wonder if you could rig up a second pointer more at eye level for the smaller logs. Possibly of heavy copper wire that could be bent out of the way for larger logs. Idk. Really good real time video. Ty

Can you share how Andy modified the crank to use drill motor?

🙏 *promosm*

Looks like you are doing good with the machine and have it figured out. Have you ever thought of getting an automatic feeder so you don't have to push it along? One question. Why was the first cut so deep?

made with low life china parts

Who's the builder?
