Big fallen Poplar with TPO - Advice wanted

[Mick Dempsey]

Very true.

 

Lots of poplar plantations here, they're used a lot in pallet making, a good way to utilise soggy land.

You have to harvest them fairly quickly after maturity as they seem to go over like skittles after receiving some kind of mysterious sign otherwise.
 

Not a tree I’d tolerate close to my house.

Heating of soil underneath and leachates from what ever you piled on it. Not a good idea, K

Had a local farmer make a compost heat in a small beach woodland (owned by him). Every tree in proximity to it has died or dying . He has since removed the heap

Idd take some pictures. Ring council tell the tree officer it’s fallen over you have taken pictures. Get it cut up and made safe. You can’t argue with those photos email them pictures. You can see it’s legit. If there anything like our council you could be waiting months bowt time they had got in touch will of rotted away. 👍

I totally agree I think you would struggle to find a mature popular with out it being like a polo mint in middle.

One of the larger tree work firms in Sussex managed to kill off a part of the leylandii screen around their yard from leachate from their chip store.

most only fall over once though 😂

 

This one "fell over" last week - the rope attached to the chipper may have had something to do with it though.....😄

Tree roots really like invading up into the bottom of compost heaps though all thoose extra nutrients bit like a mulch layer...
