Tree Thinning

[Stefan Palokangas]

I’ve done tree thinning in Sweden—first, second, and third cuts to give the best trees room to grow strong and fast. Seems like it’s not a big thing in Scotland, though. Wondering why—too much wind knocking them over, or just more into clear-felling here?

In Sweden it's done for Tall and Gran,  or scottish pine and spruce,   the hardwood trees is great for wet areas to keep.   or for a frost protection for the ones getting kept and taken away in second thinning.
