This is a great site. I am learning valuable information for my property. About 2 weeks ago I planted crabapples, hazelnuts, plums, ninebark, arrowwood, elderberry, poplars and willows. This is my first time planting so will see how it goes.

Mowing vs burning If you have some area of switch where you are concerned about burning because of existing trees that you do not want damaged or buildings does the mowing effectively manage switch stands? If mowing is good enough.....how close do you mow? Thanks

cages & deer damage How long do you usually cage poplars, willows and the like to protect from deer? I am thinking that 2 years of good protection would be good. What experiences do you have? Thanks!
