Tim got to cut it down in the bucket, while Steve and Sean fed the chipper ... I think I'd rather have been Tim.

Good job, I was going to say the lot was regrowth. Have had similar here but not as big, mainly old ones people cut down then they resprout. I have had this debate about coppicing for regrowth ...

... it's a forestry management technique to but some argue that coppicing to ground and allowing a new tree to emerge is OK, perhaps some species. In the event of multiple stems some culling has to take place so the strongest remains.

I'm not sold though and think there's some facts to be disclosed on species suitability and location etc.

Good job crew up there, you get some interesting variety that's for sure .... now I have to do my BAS!
