ok so heres the situation i have two plants about 5 or so days old (not totally sure when they sprouted so could be six or seven) but anyway there at the moment located in pots i just found in the woods most likely dumped there by dumb ass neighbors, im in a development with woods in the center but everyone here is rich and old so im not too worried about them being in the woods much but im am worried about a house i just recently discovered about 150 meters from the sight so im going to move them back away from the creek there next to now into the forest the problem is the birch trees have created a shade canopy as there all about even height somehow luckily right now they don't have leaves yet but i need a way to effectively kill the trees without me actually having to cut them down because that will make too much noise im thinking that if i strip the bark off all the way around in about a 5 foot wide vertical distance the trees may die i hope what do yall have to say about this

agreed, your plan sounds like to much work, It would work but i would take awhile. Find a new spot. Good Luck

Sure kill the tree, then someone will be looking at the tree's one day and will say " hey look up that tree has no canopy, lets go cut it down for wood " pop goes the pot plant. Just find a better spot.
GOOD LUCK :)

jesus poeple its just gonna be two trees and believe me there is now other spots unlees i travel two one of the other thickets down the road but i cant just walk around with em and at the mometn driving is not an option i like being near the creek becuase of ease of water and dont even try to get me to climb up the damn things and top em i dont have the equipment and that would draw attention whats two shitty birch tress gonna hurt im not doing a clearcut here belive i dont want to have to do this but it seems nessecary unless by some miracle the plants can survive underneathe the trees.. ofcourse IS it possible for plants to get sunlight from undersome rather thin leaf coverage?

yup, but anyway like i said i really dont want to have to go thre all this but seriously has anywone ever grown on a forest floor in relatively thin woods cause perhaps canopy was also a strong words imagen trees who are equal hieght and have bracnhes that touch at the tips but they are far apart and only have about one "Layer" i guess we could say of branhes at the very top is it possible to get enough sunlight in the sort of location the trees ARE all about like 5 or 6 yards apart (for all u europians out there im sorry but im not sure of the metric equivalants i really only guessed about the distance of the house) an if anyone thinks im talking too much or saying strange things let me remind u i have not slept since 8 AM yesterday

ive grown in places where plants get minimal sunlight due to large trees and bushes....and i got minimal harvest :)

If you let them get tons of sunlight then you also have to water waay more often as the soil gets dry quicker. This will also give you really big trees.....:)

I think you have an option your missing. Get some 5 gal buckets and some rope, plant in the bucket, throw the rope over a tall branch and hoist it into the tree. That would solve your light problem and it would be even less likely to be noticed. most people don't look up. Just be sure to camoflage the bucket and rope somehow. I know it has been done before with success. Good Luck
