I own a half acre of land in Florida.(my little piece of Florida
paradise) Nothing but some Pine Trees with Moss on them and some grass
and mostly weeds on my half acre of Florida paradise.

I know all about understory. I own 30 acres in Wisc. that was select cut
about 8-10 years ago and is pretty overgrown, not too bad but its
noticable.
Theres a 70 acre parcel next to me that has never been logged and has
virtually no understory to speak of. Another 40 acre parcel by me was
clear
cut and is overgrown with scrub making it virtually unpenetratable. The
deer
love it though.

Interesting! I'm not sure if this is true for you guys up there, but
back in New England, forests grow up almost spontaneously. If you
leave a field unmowed and uncultivated, it will spring back to an early
successional forest within a few years, and be pretty thick after about
15 or 20. Larger trees like the big hardwoods (rock maple, oaks,
cherries, beech, elms, nut trees) take longer, as do the yellow
pines...but the alders, willows, pussy willows and dry species go
bananas fast. Poplar species do well too. In 50 years, though, the
richness has returned, if not the absolute size of the trees.

The reason, in large part, is that New England gets plenty of rain
during the summer growth season. No such luck here in CA; although
some species grow really fast, getting them established is a very
hands-on proposition.

Dunno about so high. The lowest limb on the General Sherman
Redwood in the Sequoia-King's Canyon Nat'l. park is bigger than any
tree east of the Mississippi.

Did I mention anything at all about a National Socialist, brain stem?

Jeez, some parrot taught dzArse a new insult -- now he has

Please try to pay attention, at least once in your life. I know it's difficult, but with
some medication and some therapy, things might actually work out for you.

Why? It did nothing for you, brainless stem.

'Brainless stem' is an oxymoron, 'tard.

Not when the brain has withered off the stem, as has yours.


You'll have to do better than that to beat the 'ol dxAce in most any endeavour.

Easily done, with one brain tied behind my back.

He may be developing some personal hygiene.

That one kind of flopped for you, ****stain.

So he agrees he's not developing any personal hygiene. Henc
the obsession with ****stains.

You must have stolen it as you certainly never had one of your own.

Yes Bruce, but logging a few trees is not going to damage the forest.

Well, you are right. Logging a "few" trees won't damage the forest.
However, what logging company is going to set up an operation for only a
"few" trees? Let's try and be a little more realistic here...

A hundred years ago, before your "eco-nazi" laws, they would clear cut
(can you say "decimate"? Sure you can!) entire forests without batting
an eye.
