Clearing rhododendron

Is there a best time to clear rhody in a small 5acre woodland?

I've had a look in the FC website and it mentions about chemical application of the stumps after clearing and the optimal time. Is this the only time factor to consider?

I'd imagine all clearings will be burnt on site.

 

Cheers

No real time lkmit on when to cut them, we do alot for natural england during the winter months upto end of march (bird besting season), as FC guidance says get the stumps quick with herbicide we use roundup pro bio. If your burning it make sure you burn it all any little twigs left may grow new shoots next year.

We mulched this area twelve months ago and this regen has popped up, not a huge problem to follow up with backpacks at a later date.

Its not bad when you consider some of these area`s were choked up with Rhody to height of thirty feet.

Looking good aspenarb. Hell of a job to do by hand without machinery

 

Still have plenty to do by hand Paddy, we cant trash the footpaths or rights of way through these places with machinery so there is plenty to cut and chip by hand.
