A second chance.

Good pics- be interesting to see if it takes again,

I did a beech similar size to that last year, it had fallen across a leat, I pollarded it and using a 3ton tirfor and the landrover winch we got it upright again. Trouble is when it sat back down again it didn't quite sit back in its pocket right- too much earth/turf had fallen back off the rootball and back in to the hole, I wish I had dug it out more before I up righted it.

I dug that out, it's sitting on rock so what came out was what had fallen off.

Beech usually throws out quite a lot of growth but the thuge wounds attract to much nasty air born stuff and then the bark dies and it's firewood time.

If yours takes then its a good result for sure .

The habitat destruction aspect of our work often makes me feel bad - and I think it's great when you can do the opposite. Well done! Would certainly appreciate updates on how she (he?) goes...
