What BAP said, but some notes:
1. Leave some other species
2. Don't open the canopy too much at a time. It's best to open just 1 side at a time, then as that side fills in the space, open another side.
3. Opening too much at a time leaves the trees vulnerable
4. Leave a range of age classes so you don't leave just the mature ones
5. Be careful of beach, if you remove beach they will send up new beech from the roots over the entire drip line and can take over the whole area
6. Follow Cornel recommended practices.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
