Have you ever had White Pines?
Most likely not hey?
How about Norway Maples?
Or Weeping Willows?
I know one thing. A white pine for some reason will draw Lightning like no other tree. I have seen the tops blown completely off them things and the top stuck right in the ground where one of my fallers had to notch the dam thing to get it down. Then the USFS forester came out and almost threw my ass in jail for cutting an unmarked tree-the SOB.
Put a uniform on them assholes and they think they are gods gift to the world.
No. I have Blue Spruce. Unless they die off naturally or cause me problems (I don't see how) there's no reason to cut them down.
