Hazel coppice

Funky trees from today’s coppicing work.

Anyone care to guess how old that ash stool is in the first image? (top left) the clue is in the width of the base, not the upright.

A productive week in late November - the first serious tree planting session. We battled all different types of weather but with help from family and friends we managed to get around 1600 saplings in - sweet chestnut, hazel, alder and willow.

These trees will be coppiced in the years to come to provide fuel as well as craft and building materials.

Our eucalyptus trees. In foreground is second growth, coppiced trees re-sprout from the trunk cut at ground level for a second harvest, mostly firming two new trunks but sometimes up to four.
