Me too! I'd heard, we all heard, but just really passed it right by. There were a lot more videos, but I just got tired of watching them...
There was an ice storm here in the 90's which took most of my pine trees down. And following that, some kind of disease passed through and took the rest out. Right now going through my forest in the search for firewood, I think I've found a few young ones coming up, but I have yet to find one single living big pine tree. I'm certainly thinning my forests now and will be for years to come. My primary targets are the diseased, damaged, or dead trees. I'm getting a lot of locusts too, but hopefully that has just been because of the crowding. I can't take a tree down without damaging another tree. But that's just the way the cookie crumbles on that = them boogers gotta go.
