Staverton.

I was driving home tonight from orford and came past staverton sticks i wondered how many of you suffolk boys have been there, i have been there once i went ring counting to compare them with my own oaktrees, they are on light land and i am on boulder clay. the best thing i remember is the rowen and holly trees growing in the oak pollards cool:001_smile:

Went there about 10 years ago with Oliver Rackham on his "Trees and Woodland in the British Landscape" week long residential at Flatford Mill.

 

Got to access some great sites, but Staverton was by far the most awe inspiring

 

As you say, those Ilex & Sorbus are mad trees.

 

Would really like to go back.

I wanted to go on that course at flatford but i could not find the money at the time. I would also like a visit to staverton i have the number of the man who looks after it, the best time to go is when the rowen are coming into leaf and the oaks are still bare one of the old pollards is very short with this rowen growing right in the goblet.
