Saw this dolmar /makita and thought its a good spec for the money over either sthil or husky: Makita EA3601F35B 35.2cc Petrol Chainsaw (35cm) WWW.FASTFIX.CO.UK The Makita EA3601F35B comes with a 35cm guide bar and has been designed for semi-professionals with a 35.2cc low... Only issue in future could be spares in as they are going to stop making petrol saws. Other options to consider is the electric corded husky/makita (they are the same saw just different colour) I use this model for firewood: MAKITA UC4051A/2 MAKITA UC4051A/2 240v Chainsaw WWW.HOWETOOLS.CO.UK 240v Chainsaw Useful to have both....

Seen an apple tree do it.

The beech will be ok as long as not too waterlogged in winter (heavy clay)

Lodge pole pines can grow fairly rapidly alot faster than beech i reckon.

I like my Makita DUR369AZ so far apart fron the batteries only lasting less than 20mins even on slow speed. The Makita DUR368AZ is a different smaller motor not sure about the design choice of having the motor right by the head though?

Most scientists are normally more rational and objective? You have a hypothesis about ivy but have jumped to a conclusion without citing much evidence apart from casual observations. Any links to interesting scientific papers on ivy which I posted you haven't engaged with, maybe you didn't bother to read them? I already posted this one: https://purews.inbo.be/ws/portalfiles/portal/34412808/Perring_et_al._2020_Increasing_liana_frequency_Preprint.pdf

In ground root barriers as available, someone on here might have an idea of a particualar brand that they can recommend Hornbeam also keeps its leaves in winter. Considered Yew as is a nice fast growing evergreen? Quercus ilex or Bay laurel?
-
I used willow along side a polytunnel as grows fast and is free from cuttings. I like a nice beech or hornbeam hedge though. Container idea is a bad one imo unless you get massive containers and set up a drip hose for watering. Seems alot of added unnessary faff & expense.

Almond as firewood? Uk has many almond trees? No mention of sycamore or softwood Skita spruce which are both common? Think it could be better......from the sample page sorry. What thoose firewoods merchants say isn't that informative imo....its just partly sales patter......that needs to be seperate from actual wood info or atleast looked abit more critically or in more detail, the pros cons of each claim etc.... The moisture bit is ok could mention that a moisture meter is cheap to buy...

How about ivy covering wooden fences I reckon it makes them rot quicker....

SOLVED - Concerns about a cooking apple tree over 30 years old
Stere replied to cookingappletree's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Can't see no fresh rot that hole looks old / healed up I see nothing around that can be damaged by that apple tree. The tree looks the only thing decent in the whole garden tbh... Id leave tree alone unless you want to prune it to increase fruit yield and that is best done sympathetically over a period of several yrs not massacred, in a oner..... Unless you do hate trees that is..... -
Probably makes no difference but won't they be buired abit deep before they reach daylight unless planted shallow? I dig a trench chuck spuds in backfill the trench with manure from the compost heap then the soil from dug trench back on top, then a few weeks after they pop up, go I along the rows with a chillington hoe several times earthing up. Proabably OTT but like the look of having large ridges a furrows....
