And my dad had a bulldozer he hauled on a trailer. He used elm planks because the dozer tracks didn't destroy them as fast as other types of wood. We see very few here now, they were the main trees lining the city streets back in the '50's before dutch elm got to them. I would leave it grow, at some point there is a possibility that one will be dutch elm resistant and it could be cloned. They are a beautiful tree at maturity. If a resistant one ever evolves it will be valuable to the nursery business.
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.
