We just purchased some property that has a good bit of pines that are leaning badly from a previous ice storm. The pines had already been thinned and I was told that they were thinned too much and this contributed to the ice damage.
Question:
What should I do? I don't want the pines that are leaning as some have already snapped in high winds...one already went through our pole barn roof! There are a lot of other pines that are in good shape but we really want to plant other trees and start some food plots. I would like to cut all the pines.
I have attached a picture of what some of the pines look like. Date stamp is incorrect.
I need someone experienced in forestry to tell me if I should leave them and cut them later or if it's ok to cut them now. I don't want to throw money away.
Thanks for the help!
