hi rik
thanks for the repy ,so july onwards then for shareing and what about the leader do you trim that off to stall the desiered height of the tree? on the scots pine a couple of year back i sprayed for a bad affid infestation as a matter of course (they borderd potatoes!!) do they knock the trees growth or is it something to do as a anual treatment? our soil is a rich silt loam good drainage would i need to npk the trees is that a spring application or just as the new growth starts ?
i hope its ok to ask these questions and hope it don't seem to cheaky?
hope shareing xmas trees isnt as hard a work as asparagus picking!!

Could woodland group ownership be a pension fund
dave fox replied to Les Cork's topic in General chat
its more about turn over though, sure fire wood is popular now and lets hope it stays like that but these fads and fashions come and go people are trying to save money by burning timber until it goes up, it takes time to grow millable timber. dont let big fel hear that you have not brought a christmas tree in years !! they are more enviromentaly friendly than fake too. -
hi mate
i wonder if you could give me some advice, i am a small farmer from east anglia, and grow a very modest amount of xmas trees, we grow them around the farm as field border markers and as wind breaks near polly tunnles and wind breaks along are asparagus field about 500 in total we have a farm shop and sell a few at xmas. we grow scots pine and norway spruce, do you trim and shape yours ? do you have any info on that ?
regards

i think that one of the biggest hurdles in the buiseness is that alot of the estates that are conected to farming in my exsperience is that they are bound with alot of enviromental regulations
-
very interesting , have you ever had to not use a chainsaw in some delecate enviromental situations? would you do it without chainsaws

i was a bit cocerned going in for the fire wood directory with having a map on the sit pin pointing my place of work and where i will sell logs from, so i now am in the middle of making gates for the farm road , they will be opened and closed at the times that i stated , the trouble is when your open to the public you are open to people who would capitalise on it too. i caught what i thought was someone stealing logs once and threatened them, it turned out it was a lost pizza delivery boy, he had stopped his car near the log pile ,he cacked his pants and left smartish. be careful confronting people
-
dean what would you have done if you had caught them?
-
Wind turbines/wind farms. Your thoughts on them.

thats right blame the farmers!:sneaky2:as i said before , we should be growing energy!! either willow coppice or ethernol plants it gives the option of turning the land back into food production as well . -
think im addicted to it! mostly check the wheather on my brake or dinner brake so pop in the house when not in the field and its got now "do i have a look on arb or not am i going to look a sad o during the day with nothing better to do.
