Ah, chestnut palings. What's the rotation time ? 12 years or so ?

 

I'm curious because I have loads of chestnut, although it's all a lot older than that.

If you could ask, I'll be grateful. I'm looking for a use for short rotation coppice as I want to plant fruit trees between some of the stools and I don't want to let the chestnut grow big enough to shade them.

short rotation coppice is ok for pailing but if you want split rails and posts then youll

need thicker stuff but if you use thicker coppice for pailing youll get more out of the lenths you cut as youll need to split it more then if it was short

rotation.

ie more money but its takes more time spliting

my boss mite buy it off you by the acres if you just want it out the way if you dont have time too work it or the set up
