i have a stand of floodplain woods that i would say is 90% boxelder from saplings to a few at 20". there are a few scattered oaks, ash, locust, and gum.

is there any reason not to try to eliminate the boxelders and if not, what is the most efficient way to do that, while creating some thick cover?? thanks....

Easiest but can be costly: poison

Less easy but very cheap: ring them with a chainsaw

Most effective but also most labor intensive: cut them down with a chainsaw

Is Boxelder any good to a logger?

I never seen any that was tall enough to make a tie. About the only thing we do with them is pulpwood.
