[coolie]

I have never even pruned an Oak or a Fagus Sylvatica.Only ever pruned one Ash,which is the only one I know of in our region.But now I know where to get tips if I need to do a reduction or similar.

What is a bit ironic here is that only 5yrs ago it was the Regional Councils policy to clear indigenous scrub and bush and to replant with exotics which were mainly Gums,Pines and Acacias.But now the native trees have become trendy and when a plantation is clearfelled it is replanted with trees which are indigenous to that region.
