Tree woulda had a fungus growin on the side of er. Ive had that around my parts in southern Ontario. Log can be sound above and below that rot patch if its in the center of the tree
My guess is he probably saw it had a squirrel hole or some damage where water could get in in the crotch way up. That usually trashes the tree if it been that way for a while.
Loving ur channel bud. I like ur planting video. I own 100 acres in western NC. Im trying find a company that will sell me sapplings to set out like u did. I talked to my forest service people bc they said they'd help.me set out trees after I had some cut. Well they aint. They said it was gonna be like 1500 a acre just for set pines. Im like no way hell what I cut won't dam pay for that. 15k per 10 acres
I live in Indiana and we have a tree nursery here in my state. Not sure if each state has a nursery or not but your state forest office should be able to tell you that info. Next thing you will need to do is have a idea what your wanting to accomplish by setting trees. My goal was to make a buffer along my property "close to the house" so I didnt have to see any neighbors. I spaced mine out 4 foot from tree to tree and 3 foot row space. If your wanting to reforest acreage your gonna want a min of 700 trees on a acre also depending on your soil type. I see your in NC that's alot of deep clay there, you might be stuck with alot of pine I'm not sure as to what is around you.
Most foresters in my area would mark every tree for veneer. They get paid percentage of sale and would try to make the bid look as great as possible incase someone just bids it off the sheet.
Ones in my area don't mark anything as veneer. They may make notes of certain walnut that are good quality (all walnut gets numbered and anything else gets a band) and make notes about quality of the hardwood but most of them exaggerate a lot. But they make sure to also note that "buyer must examine themselves of quality and quantity of timber for sale" to save their ass
Sorry for ranting but if u could give me a name of a good company I can buy trees from to set out id appreciate it. Im planning on doing it myself like u are. Im gonna plant about 20 acres
@@stevebillow395 I'm in Western North Carolina and all of my land is hollers and ridges but I have five Creeks on it with good Poplar bottoms and some good Hardwoods I just had all the Virginia Pines cut off of it
I at least want to reset out about 10 acres of Pines that grow fast my County's Forestry Department was supposed to help when I put it in forestry management but they said the state was out of money and I would have to pay for anything I wanted sit back out that out on my own pocket
I cut all the Virginia pine we call it something else that starts witha N. Lol it didn't grow no more in 20 years My local logger Buddies said would be best to set out lob lollie pines bc the grow fast and in bad low quality soil. The forster said my ridges were dry ridge timber he called it.
My guess is the Forester saw something in the top to indicate rot going down.
Good call on his part.
Great video.
With age comes experience Stevey. There's things you do that blow other people away. Cheers
Maybe he bought some of those x-ray glasses they sold in the back of magazines back in the day???
Wow. He either rolled the dice or is extremely gifted. Have a good week brother.
Iv done alot of work behind that forester and hes just that good
@@stevebillow395 hes definitely worth his weight in gold 4sure.
Some people really do care and take pride in their job.
And I do believe that you are one of those guys. You do an awesome job bud.
Thanks bud

Dang must be one that’s been in the forest for a long time. Or they got burned a few times and learned what to look for.
Lol he got lucky

The guys around here that marks every tree veneer will get alot less bids

Hey Stevie 👋
I wonder if they drilled the trees to find out what the heart looked like ?
Drilling the tree could tell you some of the story but this tree down low looked to be perfect
