Euc Pruning Advice

[Peter]

This is more coppiced than pollarded but you get the idea.

These must be pretty old

Nice one, thanks Peter. In the second picture they've come away again quite well, I thought it was probably too late to produce a multi-stemmed tree but maybe not...another options develops...

They have an extremely vigorous root system...did I read 8' from the door....? If so, rip it out and replant with something more appropriate...it'll have the foundations up mate...I kid you not.

Are they very penetrating then; what have you seen them go into/ under?

 

Cheers.

One of the Eucs that i have to prune at the weekend are close to a house!!

 

If a Euc has been pruned hard before, would it still be ok to cut slightly harder than where it was cut before, or would it be best just to cut the re-growth off and leave the stumps?

Tut tut, trying to get away with one cut instead of ten

Ha HA......busted....nah seriously, i would like to know what would be best for the tree?

[Arob]

Thanks lads, think i'll advise and let the customer decide. The tree's a bit close to the house and a so birch may not be much better, lets hope if i am asked to coppice it that it does pull through

 

Well, perhaps I'm impatient but it didn't show any evidence of sprouting so today it was ground out. Interestingly (perhaps!) it seemed to have overgrown a bit of post.

I have crown reduced & pruned euc`s very hard over in jersey & they have come back really well,As the other lads say once you carry out work you have to maintain them if not they will get out of control again.
