In my neck of the woods in Missouri I have a bunch of standing and very dead Osage and Locust. Those I plan on cutting down within the next month, get them chopped and stacked so that we are prepared for next winter. Plus if I cut them down it will allow for the actual native trees to grow. I would like to see more Black Walnut, Maples and even some Oaks. Tired of Osage and Locust...especially the thorns!! They go through tires and boots with ease!!
Thank you for sharing this post!
