This is ine that I will work on myself. It has a great trunk in terms of taper.DSC00673.JPG
 
Oh...and as an aside

I would not prune these yet. I would wait till around first week in march.
 
Will prune in Feb. Did you use cut paste on your tree?
 
Are you planning on selling some of those?, I will not mind doing a quick trip and dig a couple, if price is right :o

Not yet. I will be hollowing out the scars a little for flatter healing, and I had to buy a new die grinder cause I smoked mine at work cutting tile over head. Tile dust into the front bearing does not work well!

When I refresh the cut I will seal, probably this weekend.

Feb would be a good time. I do not like cutting maples this early but when digging sometimes it can't be helped. Waiting is better for the tree to be in the active sap pushing stage.
 
How many have you have planted out? I'm just curious. (your my new hero and I'm trying to emulate you...)
 
grape dig 11 glen.JPGI have a couple of plots with trees . I have pines, maples, junipers, Chinese quince, grapes lots of other varities. I have about 50 or so tridents. The oldest plot is about 5 years old. I plant every year. They are for sale . Message me for more info. It is fun stuff! I have over a thousand muscat grape vines that are close to a hundred years old.
 
these will be pruned later this spring. They have never been pruned
 
Really nice materials. What type of junipers do you have and would you post some pics?
