I’m chipping white pine branches that came down this winter. Makes great mulch and the yard smells like pine potpourri.
Just finished untangling and tying grapes to their new arbor ...though, scentless, at the moment
Miss the smell of fresh Doug Fir, though.. Now over east, there’s a hardwood mill I’ll slow way down when passing ...my only ‘fresh-cut tree hit.’
You might be able to grow Doug Fir in Virginia. Maybe too far south for Balsam Fir. Vans Pines is a reliable tree nursery. I think they are in Michigan.
