I had thought of Alder but not hybrids, I shall look into them both. Thanks.

Anyone seen one in the countryside? I'm finishing this years planting and want a few wet tolerant trees next to a stream that floods. Only about 15 or so in this bit. Bit worried they'll be out of context in transitional UK woodland. Failing these it'll be alder/ash.

Planting for a Sweet Chestnut coppice - any tips?

I do ours 4-5m apart minimum. -
I'm cutting it off tomorrow. Spruce tend to go straight back in place as they're so flat it seems.

To be honest my two favourite saws are my ms362 and a Ms181. For everyday use and I do mean everyday use I use the 181 as its light, totally reliable and v good value. If you can sharpen chains well it's a perfect little saw. I have 25 plus acres of woodland to deal with and that saw is always with me. Look at the price of it at Radmore & Tucker or Honey Bros.

A mate had one, it was v well made but v expensive. If you turn the files the wrong way they ruin really easily. Maybe it's just me but I find sharpening with a vice and file really satisfying.

Never thought of that, but it is a smart move.

Last night.

Thanks for all the advice. To answer questions. The tree needs attention due to the proximity to the little house and insurance. Yes I am lucky enough to own the tree. I spend my time managing my own woodland. I have planted 4000 broadleaf myself this year on part of my own land after a clear fell order. I have a beautiful stand of Douglas Fir, another of spruce and some amazing ancient trees. So all in all I would like to think I respect trees fully. I do know one end of a chainsaw from the other as I use one daily but I certainly don't have the skill-set of a professional aborist with regards to climbing and would never attempt to. I was just after a price for advice from someone and subsequently work to the oak as if part fell on the little house I'd have a problem. For the record another oak fell on it 30 years ago. As for lightning striking twice, my house has already been struck.

Thank you. I am blessed with having several huge oak and beech trees. If anyone saw them there would be TPOs flying about. They are definitely ancient trees by definition. I want to be a sympathetic as possible to that particular oak.
-
I agree, I'm so precious about my trees to the point that my wife thinks I'm mad. I'm situated near a little town called Hatherleigh.
-
Thank you. It's amazing, the picture doesn't do it justice. I have other amazing trees, one beech tree measures 5.5m round the trunk. Massive. Never seen bigger.
-
Oak picture hopefully, greenhouse gone.

Not a highway, more a little country lane. It's basically an old hedge that it grew through, I estimate it to be 300 years old by the size.
-
I can get rid of all brash/branches/wood and there will be lots. Access is easy I feel, but a fair bit will need lowering due to being over a roof. That'll be about a fifth of it. It's on a quiet road, no neighbours and no TPO. Also as I'm being thick can anyone tell me how to post pictures? Thank you!
-
If nothing works out I have 20 acres I've just clear felled. I'm replanting at the mo. I have another stand of mature Douglas and loads of spruce etc. adjoining. Just above Dartmoor. So 25 plus acres in that part.
-
If pictures would help I'll post them.

I have an oak tree, I guess it's twice as tall as an average house, trunk is nearly 2m across. 1/4 of it over a house. What is fair ££££s for a crown reduction? Situated in the middle of nowhere Devon.

I've been burning two wood burners ever night since September.
-
Much appreciate the replies. Nice one.
-
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I know my thoughts, but do people split to logs early or keep stacked in lengths? I'm asking about logs that'll be shed stacked. Thanks in advance.
-
I use one and we now have no condensation on the windows in the kitchen.

Evening, I am new here obviously, just going to ask the odd bit of advice from time to time. Maybe even offer some of my experience for what it's worth. Cheers.
