Still rather too cold for me to be outside for anything like tree trimming - and we've a holly tree that is in dire need of a good talking to!
I cut back a small Ash tree last year, it's close to the house and I don't want to get rid of it, but to keep it under control. So it's not quite coppiced, but not quite pollarded, but there were many 3-6 foot lengths of stem that I then pushed into the ground, and I'm hopeful that some will have taken in situ - some look dead, but then many don't - and as the ash is a slow starter it is going to be an interesting surprise to see how many new trees I may have in a couple of months, or so.... :rubshandswithglee:
