The DU Lounge

I taught Forest Management for 30 years at college.
I remember lots of what I taught.
Red, Silver, sugar, mountain, and stripped are the most common. Lots of cultivars out there from nurseries.
The best I remember, all sprout like crazy after trimming. You will probably see a sprout fest from the broken limb on your tree. I have a Red with some elms and poplars on a small spot and I keep them about 7 feet high. They are thick and Full of birds and I have to trim them all about 2 weeks apart. But I can reach and control them easily if I keep up with the sprouting. Many of my grads are county Rangers, under State Control and are there to assist the residents, and fight fires.
Hope you have Sugar Maples. Fall colors are great with all maples.
Hope I have helped.
Cheers.
Pray for our USFS and NPS. Trump is trying to end them all and sell our public lands to the likes of JaVanka.
I fear for my Grads. Most work for those public lands and others, like BLM and many as State County Rangers. 🤬🤬
