so that the tools I use a little small hatchet I don't like to use a big heavy hatchet because if you just wear your elbow out and then a spray container with about 20% Arsenal herbicide and 80% water that cost about a penny per tree to kill a tree these trees that I'm a little hacking squirt will drop their leaves during the year and next year they won't be any leaves on them that's going to let a full sunlight coming here to our wildflower plant so in a forest situation we want to promote mass producing trees and trees that are going to be worth something economically so here's just a little old Hickory you can see that's never going to be a long one hit prime one squirt that trees day a popular right here one hit sometimes you can come around hit it one more time if it's that side that one's dead so as you look we've got a great oak tree another great oak tree another great oak tree a dogwood right here of course that's going to have soft mass on it for our turkeys another dogwood so we don't want to do dog will quit the course but hickories poplars even a little snack like this one little hit squirt that's going to die okay we've got another dogwood here we want to leave it of course and we think about these little small trees they're pulling nutrients away from our Oaks and from our dogwood so as we take out the sweet gum and the poplar the oaks and the dogwoods are going to grow better okay so we've got a good oak here good straight great long tree having hard mass but if you look at the forest floor you don't see any oak babies oak babies require about four hours of sunlight a day to germinate and grow okay so we want to take out the mid story of these little small undesirable trees to allow sunlight to come all the way down to the forest floor so our acres of our good Oaks will germinate and grow they need at least six hours of direct sunlight a day and if you look through here we have no space and sunlight for Oaks but these hickories and a.m. are call shade-tolerant they can tolerate the shade and grow so we want to push this toward mass-producing trees full sunlight and make them grow you
