Biosecurity in Tree Work - We want your views!
timbernut replied to Biosecurity4Trees's topic in General chat
Done, will be interested to see if it makes a difference. After having done several weeks PR infected larch felling last year and following rigorous bio security measures we found it really frustrating seeing infected dead and dying larch on other holdings in the vicinity (the blocks we felled were in the very early stages of infection) that were having nothing done about them and the estate we were working on were hounded by the FC Scotland to get theirs down. It made our efforts seem a bit pointless!😤 -
Not B!😄looks fine but if you're not happy with it you could drill it out and plug it

You don't have to harvest trees, have seen it done in other parts of Europe where they strip the crown ( I believe it's called 'shredding') every 10 or so years leaving a single stem, the arisings are used for fodder and when the trees are more mature (don't know what age) they are felled and apparently very high value for furniture making (presume veneer?). Wasn't there something about growing crops between rows of trees on country file last week? Furthermore a chap who used to do a bit of coppicing with us spent the rest of his labour time at an agroforestry farm somewhere between Halesworth and Stradbroke in Suffolk was a good 10/15 yrs ago, but will see how it went as I see him now n again.

👍I have to agree, though I would do it grudgingly!

Can't see why anyone would bother to photoshop a picture like that? I've found that it's often theist intelligent people who do the daftest things: my dads a clever chap but I remember coming home from school to see him bow sawing a large lateral limb that his ladder was on😃!!

Yes definitely worth milling, Youcallthatbig did about 800 cube of mostly ash for me with his autotrek (ace bit of kit!), it has slowly but surely sold for reasonable money for all sorts applications: wagon building, yurts, coach work repairs, turning

Traditionally 25th march (lady's day) was the last day of felling but know some who have felled right through the year particularly on softwoods, we try to get everything done by 1st April, not sure if the rules on hedges/ hedgerow trees apply to forestry?

I have an old turner metro mower and have had similar problems with wire, nightmare!
-
Handy bit of kit😄, how big material will it deal with?
-
Love it👍👍😄

Sorry only just saw your post. No not removed, they were about 95' and a couple had lost large limbs in last couple of years and wer well over one of the workshops and busy yard access, they also blocked several hrs full sunlight a day from new solar panels on roof of new grain store ( in background in a couple of the pics). Cut ivy end of last summer but didn't want to do it in leaf for obvious reasons (as was requested). Didn't want to be quite so ruthless but there were not many good places to reduce to (as ivy had choked lower growth) and wouldn't have achieved the light objective if I'd done less. We got a few lengths that are big enough to quarter saw for a bit of lacewood. The rest for logs ( do you know if it burns well?)

Planes we've done this week Had to get out the mewp a few times as it couldn't reach everything!

Great thread, there appear to be lynx in east anglia already though, there was one shot near Beccles, Suffolk (my home town) in the early 90s, another somewhere between norwich n gt Yarmouth more recently, wife's aunt n her teenage son saw one cross footpath about 10m in front of them a couple of years ago, it stopped n stared! When I asked if she was sure the reply was " I know what a f#####g lynx looks like!" ( she's not one to mince words or doubt her honesty.😄

Because most of them come from eastern block countries that hav bears: they'll just teach em to dance😄

Travellers picked much of the fruit n veg across the uk for decades😀 Some of the big soft fruit producers have said they would take the fruit to where the labours cheap if they can't have the workers here! You won't get the young natives doing it they're too busy playin Xbox and sniffing ketamine😟

And cut them off two ft above fence allowing a new crown to form the outer shoots will soon start to grow laterally and a new natural looking crown will eventually develop

Why not replace "top" with "pollard"
