If there's a heavy crop, you might be able to harvest some before they all get eaten by birds. Birds tend to start on the top branches and work downwards (they feel more secure from predators in the top of the tree), whereas people harvest the bottom branches. Resin

Well, if the tree dies then I can get a swimming pool. The lady who lived here before me planted those trees in the middle of the yard. I will plant a few new trees in the back yard in the fall or spring. About how long till something like that kills it off? a few years? 10 years? It's a shame, I really do love that tree. When it does go I'll cut up the uneffected parts and use it in my smoker. Man, I really have no luck with the plants and trees at this house.
