Trees of Gold
« on: November 02, 2003, 04:37:01 pm »
It's fall in the North and the Eastern Larch is in its glory. I was not able to get the photos that I wanted because the sun never came out this weekend up at the cabin. We got these under cloudy rainy conditions and they were still pretty good. You should see them when the Sun is on them. Pure gold. :)

The first few photos are of Eastern Larch the last photos are of some plantation European Larch that grows about 8 miles from the cabin. Lichen Heaven

Eastern Larch









European Larch






Under the Larch

Here are a couple of photos ground level of where the Larch grows around the cabin.

Wow!   Neat!  How long will the leaves stay on the trees?

They are falling right now like rain, with the rain. I imagine by next weekend they will look like a bunch of dead evergreens. :D

I get three or four calls every year from people that want their "dead christmas tree" cut down.

I'm going to remove a dead spruce today beside a cottage, I haven't seen it yet, maybe it's a larch.  ;D

European Larch Seedling. Tubling seedling. European larch is being planted on Mead/Westvaco lands due to its rapid growth.

It can be harvested at 15 years of age producing 15 cords/acre. A good return on investment.

However, since its an exotic species, it is still pending registration for use in reforesting other landownerships. 10/03

My guy was a dead spruce, got some nice 20" dia. saw logs.
The neighbor said the branches started falling off on one side and the only thing  green was the top last Spring.
It was dry as a bone and spalted near the top.
It doesn't take long for a standing dead spruce tree to go bad.

Man thats some beautiful scenery you got there. I wish it were that nce in florida. palm trees are nice to look at but if you've ever cut one you will understand my point, they are basically nothing more than trunks of fiber. the fibers when cut will wrap around the crankshaft of the saw between the sprocket and the oil pump. I hate when I have to clean that crap out, its a real woodsmans nightmare in my book.
