I never knew. I always thought those large swaths of pine trees were there to keep the sand from blowing into the ocean. Ha Ha.

I learned my “something new” early this morning.

Thanks for posting that article.

I learned my “something new” early this morning.

*********

I grew up in a area where the came thru and clear cut the hardwood trees. They then planted pine trees in rows so many feet apart. As they grew they came back and harvested every X tree along the row for say fence post. They a few year later they came and harvested the poles for electrical grids, etc. And finally they were cut for lumber. Replant and start the process again.
