  1. I worked in Denmark quite a bit & they used to fence everything off, they do the same in Scotland on bigger jobs or the gamekeepers shoot the **** out of the deer.
  2. That's what I thought, & 1.2metres seems like a long way for a conifer to grow to put out some branches when normally they grow outwards before they get to that height.
  3. The company used to order the smaller mesh guards but have gone exclusively onto the taller tubes recently because of deer damage. I think they're getting the advice from the Nursery who don't appear to know all that much about trees either.
  4. A large country estate I do quite a bit of work for has some tree planting for me most years & they organise the trees & materials from the nursery. The last few years they've been getting the 1.2 metre tall tubes as there's a deer problem but the thing is that they're expecting me to plant softwoods like Spruce & Pine in them which doesn't make sense to me- although admittedly they have been supplying special ones with slits/ airholes in them. Can anyone give me a 2nd opinion on this? I would have thought most conifer trees would have no chance in that environment.
  5. Wood Cutters wanted for ongoing to permanent work in North Lincolnshire. Rates negotiable dependent on experience but also prepared to give training to somebody capable & willing, phone Stuart 07803508705 for more details.
  6. Whereabouts in Scotland please?
