Arbtalk in Italian language

[Fredsboy]

Hope you are keeping safe and well. I am learning Italian and struggling to find a dictionary to help with conservation terms - simple things like hedgerow etc.  On line translators are vague. Any help really appreciated

Write a list here and I’ll ask my girlfriend to translate, she’s Italian

Thanks Steve, in the first instance hedge and hedgerow, coppice, coppicing, pollard, pollarding, native (tree), you can probably tell what we are discussing, but my teacher is a city girl and doesn't know the words in Italian even if I manage to describe it well

Just use the English word with an ‘o’ or ‘a’ at the end accompanied by lots of wild hand gestures.

Sorry, she's not much use after all, says she doesn't even know what those words mean in English ?

hedge/hedgerow might be "siepe"

‘Useful‘ input is rare from the most prolific posters on here, newbie input is always more than welcome!
