Pine pitch

<< < (11/13) > >>

AncientArcher76:
Pappy I have kinda a dumb question??? Is there an easy way or whatis the bestway in collecting the pitch?  Do u scar a branch so itleaks out?  Itis freezing here in NY maybe if I climb a tree  I can find itfroze in a clump?  There are tons of pine here butI dontsee a whole lotof pitch on some of them.  Hmmm i'll have to take a closerlook I guess!

Thanks

Interesting video.  Good sense of humor.

Pappy:
I get it mostly from trees that had the limbs trimmed off at the trunk.I have tried scaring some trees but didn't get much from that. :)

I find trees that logging equipment has damaged or road side cutting tractors have damaged.  And trees that on my place that I have trimmed or cut limbs off of.

Would the runny sap out of a pine serve the same purpose after it's cooked? It's fairly easy to obtain and I got about ten million pines around me.
