Editing Jasua's Apples (section)

===Harvesting Trees===
While trees are an object of veneration they are also a plant and are maintained as such.  The Jasuans have extensive methods for when a tree is harvested for wood.  Some trees live very long lives.  Others do not.  

Pine trees on Jasua grows very fast compared to other shadows and are considered a building material tree despite the pine nuts.  Walnut, oak, hickory, and even apple trees are regularly harvested for furniture and cooking.

Harvesting trees is done reverentially and with care and consideration.  A tree that is cut down is almost always replaced with two saplings of the same kind of tree.  Some trees are harvested ceremonially.  Cheery trees are harvested only during the first day of the 5 day winter Solstice celebration.
