ash trees wanted

[mike barry]

Hi I was talking to a guy in the UK enquiring about ash trees to buy and he advised me to put an add up here. Im looking for the bottom 1.3m of the tree and I want it for the manufacture of hurley sticks here in Ireland. So if anyone had a plantation at least 30 years old that they were going thinning this would be ideal. I would also consider smaller lots if the trees suited. I need trees with good turns on the root system. I've attached a pic to show a raw Hurley plank to show the turn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks mike

Hi Mike, your best bet would be calling Canopy land use in England. I believe they provide hurley sticks to Ireland and looks ok. maybe others on this would know more about them.
