Yum!

Okay...the Virginia Tech dendro website says that the inner bark of a black oak is very bitter tasting. So, you're telling me that you actually taste test each removal!




P.S.- they also say it's orange... not quite as fun as the bitter tasting part.

Yes, Shigo used to say we should feel the trees, I say taste them!

Just kidding yes the inner bark is VERY distinguishable. In the winter they are tough to tell apart, summer the leaves make it much easier.

Nice job on the trees Boston. It's a shame thier was so much dead in them. The Liontailing is unfortunate but seems you said was really unavoidable...happens sometimes. Not too familiar w/ the climate this far north, being from Texas orig., I would be concerned w/ the wounds come summer. Red and black oaks are pretty resilliant to the heat and sun up this way aren't they. I'm just saying that the temps don't reach 100+ very often so there shouldn't be too much damage done. Right??? Maybe I didn't explain my thoughts the best but you get the gist. Either way you did a nice job.
