I’m not ignoring him.

But who is using these old saws? 99.9% is in landfill or melted down. No one serious is the answer. It is interesting to keep a few going, but that’s all it is.

So are you reducing it?

Apropos of nothing. Here is a photo from 10 years ago of my Stihl toppers starting with an 020 from 95/6 going through a few 200s then a couple of 201s Battery huskies and the little echo have largely replaced them.

I was back in the uk recently and took a walk around the woods where I used to wander with my jack russell Pirate 50 years ago. Mostly overstood hornbeam coppice in steep ghylls with streams at the bottom, with oak and ash in between. I was shocked at the dead ash mostly standing but a lot collapsed on the ground exposing the forest floor to light it hadn’t received for a long time.

It’s the beginning of the end Doug.

Wordle 1,575 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Don’t waste time on vowels, they’re easy to slot in. A couple of consonants, especially one of the goth ones is the key.

Valid point. They are however very prévalent in Scandinavia and other colder northern areas. Was thinking about it this morning in on the dog walk. It’s the attachment points on the regrowth that are strong, compared to say robinia or silver maple, it’s that which makes them ‘reduce-able’
-
Silver Maple, now that’s a different matter, large cuts turn to mush in no time.
-
Just another hill to die on:)
-
Heres one, heavily reduced (not by me) more than 10 years ago. Client wanted it re-done, regrowrth was 15/20 foot, some rot in previous cuts but by reducing the load and going back to live gives it another décade minimum (this is an after pic btw)
-
I have re-reduced birch here that were done 10/15 years ago, sure there were some rot pockets, but we took them back to some live growth just above previous cuts and I guarantee they’ll be good for at least another décade and probably more. I suprised you so readily swallow the mantra that the AA and others spoon feed you, you being such a free thinker and all.

That’s what the thread is about.

The vigne verte at the back of the house goes a really deep red/purple.

Sorry Alex, bored now. Another time maybe.
