@Squaredy @nepia a similar but slightly smaller Cedar in Cuckfield, West Sussex.

I do like the Cuckfield Cedar. There was a photo knocking about of the same spot in about 1910 or so, it really didn't look much different.

I drove under it again last week, not really possible to (legally) get a photo. Its hard to see where the top originally was, or even if there was one?

Fvvk. Thats absurd growth.   K

[Khriss]

Just like those Poplar hybrids, unbelieveable after 17yrs , dunno how you would keep up with them in a big planting program. K

Won't the euc coppice also?

 

What age is harvest planned at?

[Will C]

@Big J  all for biomass or do they have another market?
That’s some impressive growth

[Squaredy]

Crazy growth indeed!

 

So once the harvesting starts how many tons will that be per acre (or hectare if you youngsters prefer)?

[Stere]

Found euc very high moisture % and slow to season.

What’s wrong with planting native species?
It’s not all about the money!!!!!!!!
What about, what’s good for nature???
Get sick to the back teeth of new miracle fast growing hybrids planted in sterile monoculture.
It’s the short sighted money grabbing mentality which has been the downfall of British forestry, eco diversity and British manufacturing.
