    Aye, sounds good. Could consider leaving brash over top and around the cut hawthorn, for protection and let it grow through that. Excellent habitat, also one of the best firewoods and if your into carving makes excellent strong , finished wood, for handles etc. Fresh spring leaves also used in salad with beatroot, good for the heart? Most hedges ive planted are prob 50% hawthorn, lays very well, reacting to cutting positively! All the best:001_cool:

    Completed contract of repollarding 32 Tilia in France, in January. They were approx 150yr old and had not been pollarded for 15yr approx. Ended up working off a boom lift,cause as you say some of the scaffold was weak and overloaded but planned to retain. After sruggling with French language and sourcing the correct people i was encouraged to carryout certain technique. On every (knuckle) there were prob on average 12 stems arising. Removed all to knuckle, apart from one, where i would leave a nodes length of stem again to aid in sap rising and reducing amount of epicormic. Will let you know how the trees react. Pleasure working just with silky most of the time and only using chainsaw to finish pruning cut.
