  1. Think provenance choice of species planted is important as so much variation within species prorbably often overlooked? Mentions a late flushing walnut cultivar that reduces frost damage: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiSnKvc2OXpAhVRoVwKHaBlDtIQFjABegQIBxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forestresearch.gov.uk%2Fdocuments%2F967%2Ffcin082.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3VotZA-AvR1QVo3Kkfh68k Also the selection of a seed source from a cultivar of a species selected for the timber quality plus climate and soils.
  2. Polytunnel looks to small to fit the wood in.
  3. 12m think you need some decent ladders or reduce height alot. ? Width is always an issue also sometimes people don't realize this when they get hedges 6m across the top. Leylandi doesn't grow from dead wood so may look ugly after a severe reduction though if it is just topped may be hidden. Makita battery garden stuff it good .
  4. Why is it always "must be a hornbeam"
  5. What wrong with non natives if they grow well and provide useful timber. I'd like more sweet chesnuts coppice plantations but maybe climate isn't viable for them in north?
  6. What wood is it, and what are & how are thoose steel base plate things connected? Fancy doing a log shed like that seems an ideal way stopping the legs rotting off.
  7. Any other ones e.g? Flat earther 9/11 Truther Chemtrails Queens a Lizard Climate change denial Moon Landings 5G Corona chinese bioweapon.
  8. Yeah often being told "we have have giant hogweed" at its always just regular Hogweed. Regular hogweed still cases me blisters ? For OP If just has 3 plants why not just dig up or trim down mow area?
  9. Alot of social media guff kids get obsessed with filming themselves jumping off high drops. Get likes on insta or something. Forget to bother to check water depth......
  10. Powys is Mid wales. They do grow well here planted some from a "native" hedging pack.
  11. Interesting thanks there not native in here in N Wales so don't see many.
  12. Iv'e read some his other books on woodlands etc. Really good insights into conservation & plantations history of woodland management. Yeah many have long histories. Everything you always wanted to know about bridleways… – Open MTB OPENMTB.ORG.UK
  13. Fact-checking Judy Mikovits, the controversial virologist attacking Anthony Fauci in a viral conspiracy video WWW.SCIENCEMAG.ORG In Plandemic, the former chronic fatigue syndrome researcher makes countless unsubstantiated claims and accusations Shes sound like a crank with an axe to grind because here science^ papers findings was rejected.
  14. Does field maple grow that big a girth?
  15. How does is social distancing gonna work in thoose? ? One each?
  16. The local footpath volunteer group has a BGS flail i think, and use chainsaws and strimmers etc not sure how insurance works. Hardly any bridle paths round here though and majority of footpaths say around 75% of them are completely overgrowth and not useable. Not gone on any footpaths since covid lockdown & the only thing that was keeping many them open I reckon is regular use. I carried a pocket silky, and loppers sometimes to hack through encroaching scrub and head height brambles.
  17. I reckon here but dunno and % prob of sucessful regrowth hard to predict. Drought conditions atm for many places in UK etc recently Maybe do it in stages but then excesss shade may be an issue though partial light shade could be a benefit? Some neglected pollards think they advocated doing staged work. Might not regrow though?
  18. https://www.fas.scot/downloads/tn695-pruning-improve-timber-quality/ https://academic.oup.com/forestry/article/87/3/417/2756017 Iv'e no idea Seems a complicated thing so many factors from reading around abit.
