valleyman no complaints on that amount, those park trees and yard trees seem to be the best even for me. the tall trees and very full crowns make all the difference, my woods trees are almost all reds w/ tall trunks and almost no crown they seem to do the least mainly since they're reds, but i still have some thinning to do. the elnino pattern i think was the biggest issue this season. on the bright side we still have loads of firewood for next yr, and probably won't have to cut much, although i have about 2 cords that need splitting that i cut last spring. good luck next yr i can't wait and my taps are still in.
