Those trees were planted for one purpose so don't feel bad. Pine trees used mostly to feed the pulp industry. Once that acreage has been harvested it will be replanted and the cycle goes on. :mrgreen:

I spent 4 summers in Idaho and Washington state for forest service '57-'60 fighting blister rust control and fighting forest fires Elwood.
Pine tree forests were planted by CCC CAMPS during the 30's depression, I was told...

I am familiar with the forests of the Pacific Northwest, Back in the 70s I worked in the agricultural chemical business and was doing research to control the tussock moth. Spent many hours in choppers as an observer during spray operations. The majority of the pines in the PNW are in the spruce pine family and are harvested for different purposes than the pines here in the southeast. I know they do a lot of replanting following harvesting or after major fires so you are probably correct. :-D

I agree with you, and could not watch the video to completion. Trees can communicate, but I cannot quote a source that I have read. Same with any plant, easily proven by scientests.
