The woods in Kentucky are a relic of what they were when I was raised on the family farm.
Gone:
White Oak
White Ash
American Elm
Beech
The rest of the trees in our woods are unhealthy. Every Boxelder is rotted out. The wild cherry, Yellow Poplar, even the Hackberry are funky. If you can find a cottonwood, they are ancient and ready to depart. The biggest tree on my farm and our family farm are huge old cottonwood. The limbs are mostly gone. Only life left is a few branches on the trunk.
I suppose it is a whole host of factors.
