No problem with mature trees here in VA. Once they reach 30 years old TIMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Down they go! All of the property within a square mile or more has been logged, except mine and my neighbors, but he will log his within the next year. Good for the animals up to a point; the point where the browse is out of reach for the deer and the undergrowth is being choked out. And,the trees are not old enough to produce nuts, fruit, etc.
