IT'S A JOB! A regular, full-time one too. Oak #genetics, tree breeding, #foresthealth. Focus on white oak and other valuable hardwoods. I bet you'd get to know the distilling industry a bit. Maybe someday get a sweet #KentuckyDerby hat... Spread the word! #Kentucky

Not only does thinning result in growth increases, good #silviculture practices improve tree and #foresthealth and the ability of remaining trees to defend themselves against insect attack. teapawt.net/CSFS_Outreach/status/9…

Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia), with its distinct bark, is a commonly planted street tree. It's resistant to most pests, though this particular one has a bit of mistletoe growing on it. Mistletoe is hemiparasitic, stealing water and nutrients from the host.

Author’s response here is primarily cop-out, passing the blame, and misses point that article is harmful when read by general public/non-scientists. Context of “biodiversity millions of years from now” = useless. teapawt.net/alongsidewild/status/9…
