Here's vine maple that was in our back forty before we started clearing. It bends over, re roots, and bounds through the forest that way.

The pictures you can see of our trail ride where the scenery is just ferns and tall trees, they've come through and cleaned out the vine maple. The ferns come right back. They go through about every ten years in the areas that will be logged and clean out the understory or it just gets impassible. You can sure tell the difference when we are in the areas that haven't been done yet, or where we are near the marshes and creeks that the loggers don't touch.

That is just really cool, they way they bend and will put down roots at both sides.

I have given Harley a bath, and he looks so pretty. His mane and tail really came out very white this time. I guess the more often you use that special shampoo the more you will see results.
