Pruning is a favourite winter activity for me. Deer love cedar and Douglas fir branches and deer shit keeps the snow trails from being slippery Lower limbs are less efficient and the tree will respond by adding better foliage on top and extending lateral branches. Then it will increase girth to support that crown. Stihl and others have cordless pole chain saws for sale. A cheaper option is a corded pole saw, which I use. It only draws 8 amps so you can run a long extension cord.
Can someone please help us make sense of the expense of this? Typically pines are a cheap product. What’s the end product that justifies this time spent pruning? Would fire not achieve the same thing that the first pruning does?
Not really, in this case the branches are normally left infield to decompose infield as nutrients on site. The branches are relatively small and trying to collect them and chip would be quite expensive because of low volume recovery. After clearfellling, when the branches have been accumulated and trees are mature, chipping at a commercial scale can work.
Tool is called a pole saw. We do similar "raising up" style pruning on pine, spruce, and larch on our land.

what do you do with the prunings?
looks like hard work how many trees they have to cut?
8 hours a day or so I imagine.

A prune but grows out into clear wood timber no knots
What country is this in?
Wair i will get. rate how much.
That a load of fun! It's also a good chance to mark poor quality trees for removal.
Where is the place???
Can you make wood chips out of this process?

@@forsilvitech6142 that's exactly what I was thinking about . Thank you very much
Great video! How old are the trees when they are first trimmed like this?
To produce clear lumber or ladder fuels removal?
To produce knot free timber for the saw timber market
The knots will take a long time to be buried under new wood growth. How long til these are harvested?
i think 12/ 15/ 20/ 25/ 30 years
20
Rotations are between 20 - 25 years
Ñame of the toll to agust the san please?
Natural resins from po-kok ge-tah is white colour = latex
Saddest forest I’ve ever seen
why dont anyone in the south Grow Coast Redwood trees on the plantations? they one of the fastest growing trees and people love the color
I bought seedlings a month ago, it is fascinating how from night to morning, they’ve already added several new leaves.
@salvitex Redwoods don't have leaves ???
How is waste processed?
Mother nature! Some
, the deer and other animals eat , and the remainder biodegrades back into the soil
Thanks for sharing.
Can you tell me for pine tree in which season pruning can be done in india ?
Interesting pruning saw no need to use a ladder to climb up there
Correct, not ergonomically the best but it gets the work done effectively
Have use not heard of loppers
That’s clearly not America for numerous reasons shown in the video. Where was this filmed. Looked like the bastard pines. Longleaf/ loblolly hybrids?
I’m guessing Australia since that is where the company is based out of.
Looks like radiata pine, aka Monterrey pine. Common in the southern hemisphere as a plantation tree.
