Future of Erica Arborea?

No, I live in Canada, there's 80 zillion acres of forest. It was hammered at, clear cut etc for 100 years, we've smartened up, but no, there's no "plantations" here for harvesting - they replant after cutting and walk away for 100 years.

How do you make money waiting 50 years for a tree to grow?

(And maybe we're talking about different versions of the same thing - the trees are taken from public land, and the replanting done on the same, it's not a privately owned enterprise, as it were, where someone buys an acre of clear land, plants a thousand trees, and waits 50 years).

Paper companies used to own or have access to large lands. They plant pine trees every year and harvest every year. It's never ending cycle. About 6 hr drive from here, there used to be a paper mill. When they are in operation, it smells like hell. Was in that area for 5 months 40 yrs ago.

I use to get into trouble at an Albania bar up there named Kourza Lounge but I am better now.

It’s good to be in a better place. I lost to many friends and family to that stuff. Glad you found tobac as a better vice also.
