Hi All,
You have probably seen my other post about the logging project. On this project, I have about 8 to 10 acres on a southeast facing slope. I have a few remaining oaks scattered here and there, but not a lot. My plan is to go through and treat the stumps with herbicide. I had originally thought about letting it grow up in natural browse but now debating that.
My question is would you let it grow in natural browse or have planted in loblolly pine? I have another area of about 7 acres that is currently natural browse about 1/8 mile away that I am hoping to setup to be able to do a burn on and keep in browse so I thought Pine might be a good answer to get some variety and also maybe get some additional timber income in the future. I also thought the herbicide treatment on the stumps might be a good idea to prevent some of the competition with the pine.
Any advice is appreciated. I'll try and also take some pics.
Thanks.
