Once the trees get big like that if its densely forested you really don't have to trim under them. Mine are getting to the point that the branches near the ground just touch on trees 9 feet apart. Eventually some of them will be trimmed up to 18', once the touching branches get above 6 feet I won't have to mow anymore since there really won't be much light for anything to grow underneath.I don't intend to trim them all but trees that are trimmed bring a premium because you can get long, knot free, boards. We'll see how I feel, last fall I trimmed a couple so I could keep lanes open, the deer have heavily tracked where I trimmed so I guess thats a good thing. 9' is the common spacing for lumber trees, for pulpwood its 6' and you don't have to trim. -Curt

Do they have forest clean-up crews come in to groom them every few weeks? Mow and trim, spread some new mulch around? I guess it is good for fire suppression.
