[Tom D]

Reading that is seems that a stoggle is a pollarded tree.

setting the job up was it ?

Lovely new word to add to my repertoire. Thanks for asking!

Going to have a look next week will take some pics. Think they will be what I call a Coppard. That's something between a coppice and a pollard or is that just another Somerset saying?

Some pics would be great

 

The term 'coppard' is fairly ubiquitous and you are absolutely right it refers to trees that have been coppiced then later pollarded.

 

The pic below is a coppard in Epping Forest (admittedly it's not the best example)

Wow, there great pics. Wonder how old they are?

. Well these are what they Stoggles, it's a localized term up here on the Mendips.

We need a dictionary of crud combination words!

We could get like IT and nobody outside out industry the would understand us.

 

We could refer to Crustomers - ex customers who gave us problems.

Or Thumbags - Individuals who misunderstand ownership issues.

 

No doubt the list id endless.

This one is very hollow and old

Thanks for posting the pics Humpo. They seem to be a low coppard don't they? I've seen hornbeam coppice stools look very similar in the woods near me in Hertfordshire.
