    Thats weird maybe its one of thoose crazy council spend it or loose it things? Here the council (or whoever) has just emptied the salt boxes on hills out dumping the salt in piles into the verge adjacent to the boxes. Assume they will be refilled or more likely maybe it means the plan is the boxes are all gonna be scrapped?

    No idea but drought does seem a likely influence How about early frosts? Beech trees often come into leave at different times so some may of being frosted and set back whilst neigbouring tress were unaffected..... https://digital.csic.es/bitstream/10261/275413/1/Differential_response_of_oak_and_beech.pdf

    I used metal snath-ed one on a free scythe open day i recall I did didn't like it as much as seemed less ergonomic & adjustable versus the wooden ones Instrucutor didn't rate it much either. But maybe it ws a cheap badly designed one as there seems various different metal snath versions scythes about...some have chinese made blades fitted....other come with austrian or italian blades.

    I thought drought stressed trees are alot more vunerable to various fungal infections so theese things are combination of different factors maybe? Heres an example^

    Seen alot of this thats very severe recently in several locations on plum & damson species. Its even killed a few trees down to the rootstocks anyone else noticed and any pratical way to combat it? Removing all affected branches on multiple trees its very time comsuming. Im wondering its increased prevalance is realted to recent weather/ climate or some new more virulent strain? https://www.rhs.org.uk/disease/blossom-wilt Only the wild bullace seems resistant.

    I have a fiskars x27 but don't use it much found the 4lb head weight to light for most logs. Means it needs to be swung harder to work effectively versus the 6lbs maul which can often be swung lazily & without much force - the head weight being enough to do the work. Seem this is contrary to the consesus though as nearly all reviews of the fiskars are really posiitve. Don't like axes with shorter handles than 36" for spiltting rounds
  25. Stere
    I prefer a 6lbs maul head over an 8lbs one. I like the fibre handle mauls like the one you have. Don't think sharpness makes that much difference for mauls. A chain shouldn't blunt so fast it needs sharening every hr unless wood is dirty etc imo. Cutting green wood will blunt a chain alot slower than seasoned wood, and the rounds will split easier green generally. Any rounds that don't split easy, just set them aside and cut them up with the saw saves alot of effort. Plastic flexi trugs are handy for picking up split wood and tipping in log stacks
