CHUCKER

Have in my back yard a Black Walnut tree. To make there to be more trees, the bush tailed fuzzys plant some of the nuts everywhere. As the trees grow up I take all the leaves off, but leave about four on the top. The next year I do the same. They grow 2 1/2 to 3 feet a year, straight and slim. After three yrs, I cut it to length, 6 1/2 ft. Use it for a yr or two with the bark on, then remove the bark and coat with sanding sealer, or a bees wax type of finish. Also works great to make a lean-to or pup-tent, (remember them?), type cover with the plastic (everyone carries with them) to get out of the rain or camp on those 15 mile caches. The chicks love it and it works for me.
