Killing trees stealthily

[strawbrrygirl]

true true!!!!!i am not hateing some trees at times need to go but some trees are so important to the food chain!!!! I have river maples on my land and they need to be cut every so often!!!they all split at the base and become very dangerous in wind or ice!!!!!but they hold the land from falling into the river!!!!so good allways comes with bad!!!!!!hey puffster there is a SALT PETER way to remove stumps after the tree is cut!!!!!nobdy knows what best for your situation except you!!!!!alot of crap talkin around here and i am pulling a turd out of my mouth!!!!!!LOL LOL good luck man

 

[growshopfrank]

new approach............

get ropes and pulley'z...........
haul U'r plants ......UP
into the biggest branches of the tree..........
attach......U'r plants in there grow bag'z to the bigger branches.....
just prune side branches to open up direct sunlight in the top of the canopy........

problem solved for U and the tree.............

First high wind and you will be crying

If it's your land and you want them dead, take out the chainsaw. Otherwise it aint your land, and you're bs'ing for a good way to kill it. Hey bro i hope im wrong and it's ur land but i doubt it. Karma will put that dead tree on ur plants during a good summer thunderstorm.

MY GUESS IS ITS NOT HIS LAND, ITS HIS PARENTS LAND.....AND HIS PARENTS PROBABLY DONT WANT HIM GROWING ON IT....OR CUTTING DOWN THEIR TREES.....

pick the largest tree first,climb tree to highest branch,skinny out branch and saw off branch behind you,repeat until problem solved...

Wonder how many of these people don't even have a yard, or grow indoors using fossil fueled electricity? Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, where do you think the fields for the cows and produce you eat came from? agriculture inherently destroys an ecosystem and replaces it with a new one...Trees and hemp are our most renewable resource, and it sounds like the tree will be used later anyways. Why not just chop and use for wood?

I hear a hatchet with poison left in the trunk all winter will do the trick

if you own the trees its your call if you do not own them all you can do is limb some of the limbs to get dispersed light better than total shade .to kill a tree for a grow or 2 is just plain stupid when a few limbs will solve your problem for fall and spring light pentration.when you kill them you lose the cover and the soil building that a tree does to the surounding soil

He said it was "family" land, which could mean anything...and assuming that's the truth, why would he need to be stealthy if he's not doing anything wrong? Something doesn't add up.

Yep,that's what I was wondering myself.

 

[amannamedtruth]

Ultimately it would be better to allow the tree to live, Classic has a good suggestion. In my four seasons of guerrilla we've been at the same spot and we had to fix was about 12 feet tall, and we just lopped the top 4 feet off for a bit more light. Also had to take about a 12 foot branch from a walnut. Turns out you can't plant around Black Walnut anyways. Just bad soil. If the spot ain't ready, may as well find a new one. Hell, if you haven't found it yet, there's a lost great hidden area is still out there.

Hey puffster. I cut lots of trees and anybody thats a serious guerilla grower will eventually get around to it. If its not legal to grow in your area, dont grow on your property, grow on somebody else: Thats why its called "guerilla"

The answer, if there is one, is for you to plant on the southern side of the tree and then its irrelevant to your planting. In fact, you can actually plant under the drip line of the tree on the southern side and the plants cant be seen from above and can only be seen from the southern sky.

Thats about as good as it gets for any tree thats more than 12" in diameter. Ive got 4 big water maples that are nearly 100' tall that ive been trying to kill for 3 years. Ive cut a ring around them with a chian saw 6" deep and nothing happened. I drilled a 1" hole, 12" deep in the trunk and filled with brush killer twice - nothing.

Before anybody gets excited, water maples are a nasty little creation of the coal companies. They are a self sowing trash tree..

Nice to see some proper answers inbetween all the silly 'flamings' I get here

Are there some non poisonus defoliant that can be applied so the tree itself can be saved?

And about the land: We live on a big property, me in one house, my uncle and auntie in the other one, grandmother in the other one and finally my parents in the last one - people would notice if I started going rambo with a fucking chainsaw in there, they wont noticing me drilling a small hole and pouring something in though....lot of other 'skeleton' trees around here so it wont stand out or anything.

and to the flamers\kids\misunderstood hippies - just give it a rest.

sawsall is quieter than a chainsaw and less work than an handsaw

If trees started mysteriously dying on my property or my neighbors I would check it out to find what the problem is. I might even call the the forestry service to see if there is a pest or disease in the area. I think messing with the trees would be a security risk. Helicopters look for the out of place and different too.

I know, I hate killing trees and living things as well..but these need to go

would you guys react the same way if I only chopped them down? I mean I chop down trees all winter along to use as firewood...trees grow and then get chopped, the cycle continues.

besides, this is my familys forrest so it is not like I am sneaking into some preservation and killing little baby trees.

and believe me, I would chop them if I could but the circumstances makes it impossible.

So, if you "chop down trees all winter along to use as firewood..." what's the difference with this particular tree?

If you can't get your story straight here, in this land of crispy critters, johnny law is going to eat you alive when they catch you playing arborist on somebody else's property.

 

[treeofsatta]

Fuck it, don't listen to 'em. Chop it down.

 

[PeteWeedSeed]

Fuck it, don't listen to 'em. Chop it down.

Oh how many decisions are made like that..

 

[bloodwash]

well if it's your land.... then pour a large bag of salt around the tree.. that'll do it..

 

[stihgnobevoli]

how about you leave the fucking tree alone and find a another spot......
