Coniferous species do not coppice and some broadleaves coppice unreliably. The cut stumps will then sprout new shoots which can be harvested as they are needed.

It involves cutting down the tree at ground level, usually every 4-10 years depending on the species and variety of wood needed. Only used with specific broadleaved species. Coppicing is a process used to make wood more suitable for human use. Thinning may be carried out by coppicing poorer trees and allowing standards to grow onĬoppice felled on a regular rotation with standards allowed to grow on a much longer rotation First remove the main stem (s) and then secondly cut all stems close to the stool.

Full high forest rotation for standards (minimum 40-60 years, may be longer than 160 years for slow growing species such as oak).Ī combination of coppice under layer and single large trees allowed to grow on for seed and/or a timber crop Coppicing should be undertaken between late October and early March when the trees are dormant, so good work for a cold January day For existing multi-branched trees, it might be easier to do the cutting in stages. coppice restricted to 5 stems per stool)Ī proportion of coppice stems cut at each rotation allowing the remaining stems to grow onġ2-20 years for coppice. Many of the ancient and veteran pollarded and coppiced trees in forests today have not been managed for wood production for many decades and are known as lapsed pollards (11) and coppice (12. Weaker or undesirable stems thinned (e.g. Coniferous species do not coppice, and some broadleaves coppice unreliably That is the tree that I am going to coppice. Only used with specific broadleaved species. Since coppicing often has the effect of increasing leaf size, trees such as Eucalyptus can look great when coppiced. Usually grown as an agricultural crop rather than forestryĬlear fell to stoolat end of rotation.
