Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tree guys....(question)

Ash trees are just about the cleanest and purtiest shade tree around. Loved ours until the borers got 'em. Too bad.

Those curled up leaves looks pretty normal Sam, just a stage they go thru.

Paul theres ash trees up here by Cadillac, but they will all be gone with in 4-5 years! dam wood cutters are cutting the live ones for fire wood, I cut the dead one myself!

do you pee on it after a few beers?

Very sad, that tree has, at the least, ADD, and perhaps autism.
I suggest euthanasia if it is legal in your state.

I'd take that summitch back.

A lot of PTSD going around these days too.

Seems it's easier than working for a living.

Does anyone want to exterminate beavers on a mile of creek bottom?


Those [bleep] have chewed down(and wasted) more nice ash trees than I care to think about.

In my experience, a damaged dam, and a shotgun at the break of day is the best cure for bothersome beavers flooding a field and plugging irrigation systems.

Some of the neighbors prefer snares if one can find a regularly traveled path.

If I could head your way sometime, I would be very interested in that. No matter how many you eliminate at once, if the creek bottom is good habitat, then they will come back again.

I'm surprised a booger-eating ,tattle-tale hasn't chimed in?

Plants are resilient.

8 years ago "someone" - not me- used Roundup on rock-wall weeds. I think the Lilac is gonna eventually look good again..... tho not as it once did.

On our way to Hawaii from Kotzebue at Thanksgiving time '16, we took a quick overnight "check home" detour to our Soldotna house. Opened the door and a blast of maybe 160 degree air hit us - the forced air furnace had been stuck on wide open for several days, apparently. (Dodged a fricken bullet there!).

There were uncarpeted parts of the floors both upstairs and downstairs too hot to walk on in bare feet. All but three of the numerous house plants survived, many killed back to soil, and several of these are just now sprouting out again above root level.

Give it time..

I had the same curled leaves on my patmore ash trees.
They had aphids,and several apps of pesticide cleaned them out,although The leaves are damaged. And will stay that way for the year.

I work in a sawmill. 20 years ago we cut Ash once a year if not every two years and it would only be huge trees. Back then the ball bat factory next door to us bought all of our Ash sight unseen. About 10 years ago the ball bat plant switched to Hard Maple and we have been cutting Ash like crazy ever since. Everyone is cutting their Ash before the Emerald Ash Borers get them. They are devastating to the Ash and attack the young trees first. They claim they will not morph and attack another species when the Ash are gone. You are not allowed to transport firewood more than 30 miles in PA because of the Emerald Ash Borer.

Can take years for a transplanted tree to normalize, they can even look in pretty bad shape for the first few years. Usually the bigger the transplant the longer it will take... I would cut back lawn away from trunk a ways and not water right up against it.

Do live oaks grow up there??
