I think I am just going to extract from the Auriculiformis, obviously with much regard to it's life. I don't want to cause any harm to any so I will gather it from a few different trees. I found 2 in particular which are on the banks of flowing river which I feel have much to teach me. What I want to know as I have never done an extraction and I have soo many questions but I will probably figure it out as I go but what's a good tek to use? I just don't want to cause any damage to myself or the tree and I am not sure when is the best time of year for this tree, also, should I be using bark from the trunk? I am keen to do some trial and error but really want to enjoy the experience of extracting. Any info would be kindly appreciated. Also, I will be a long time user and contributor of this gorgeous forum once I attain more knowledge and all that. I love this community. There's just a lot to learn and I don't know where to start. Thanks yall
