Some good info on birch here: Silviculture of birch (Betula pendula Roth and Betula pubescens Ehrh.) in northern Europe | Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research | Oxford Academic ACADEMIC.OUP.COM Abstract. In Europe, two commercially important treelike birch species occur naturally: silver birch (Betula pendula Roth)... Seedlings overtake coppiced trees in 4-5yrs which seems abit counterintuative Also this info on spacing for max growth:

Alder doesn't live that long so coppicing some of them may be a good idea and will probably prolong the trees lifespan. Seen some alder plantation die @ about 40yrs old

Atleast its not a slope covered in windblown sitka

Have a read of this https://www.longforest.cymru/Handlers/Download.ashx?IDMF=af61fd10-150f-4b68-97a7-581eccded8e4 Covers some of the info gimlet posted with some pictures. Once you read it you can go around rating hegdes on the 1-9 hegderow management scale ? Useful concept I reckon.

Can see a large willow being really hard to remove ifl the root system sprout even after removing stump, but i didn't think willow suckered from its roots like e.g blackthorn?

Noticed alot of random "sycamore dieback" this year in different locations Dead crowns or early leave drop whislt other trees close by are still 100% healthy green leaves Wonder if it was something to do with the drought last yr as many sycamores are up on raised cloddiau

Always wondered why I see so many apple trees looking similar to that in gardens. Often in gardens done by "grounds maintenance comapny" Done a few prunning jobs on apple trees and often told by the customer iv'e not done it right as it doesn't look more like the tree on watchdog as they now think thats how a tree shoud look. Some would prefer if you just did massacre the tree like that to "make it look tidy" Kind of put be off doing apple trees as customers often then says "but you haven't taken enought off". Try and explain about over prunning and water shoots & 1/3 rule etc and the eyes glaze over as there not interested. Also im no obviuosly not charging enough as done a whole orchards of dozens of trees in a day for less than half £300 If charged £300 a tree would be £3600 plus job.... Or even i'd try and charged 10% of that rate customer would never pay me £360 for prunning apples trees for a day.

Electric motors offer better torque i think than similar sized petrol eqivalent Makita do 6ah battery so could have 12ah total but the 5ah ones arer alot cheaper than the 6ah. Im guessing from a try using a sthil battey trimmer: HLA85 (unsure of size of motor in this as not in spec?) the makita cordless version may be about as powerful as a 900w KM94 but not as powerful as the more powerful combi stihls engines in range. I have the short reach duh601z trimmer and its very good. Don't know about long term durability yet though compared to petrol.
