I will post on my success, or otherwise, of this later. That is the tree that I am going to coppice this year, as my Eucalyptus niphophilia, although small in size, has outgrown its space and is leaning at an awkward angle. Since coppicing often has the effect of increasing leaf size, trees such as Eucalyptus can look great when coppiced. Ash, Chestnut, Oak, Alder, Lime and Maple will coppice including exotic varieties. Cherry, aspen and most elms will reshoot from suckers reforming as the main stump dies off. Most common broad-leaved trees will coppice, although apparently Beech can be somewhat temperamental. A nest was even taken on the Tearaght, a precipitous rock on the outermost edge of the Blasket group off Kerry. For a tree with a single existing stem, it might seem harsh but don’t be afraid to go for it. The exploitation of coppice forests under the age of 10 was prohibited. Coppice forests would be also kept in case the necessary ecological conditions were in place.

Use a sharp bow-saw and/or loppers to create a slightly angled cut. Coppice forests could be maintained only to meet the needs of the rural population. First remove the main stem(s) and then secondly cut all stems close to the stool.

The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions called for the meeting after MPs voted against cutting biodiesel tax on Tuesday (24 April).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.

On Wednesday (25 April) the BABFO welcomed a Government invitation for an urgent meeting to discuss “misunderstandings” over biodiesel. Ballyhaise Agricultural College, Co Cavan, Ireland. Using rapemeal to produce electricity would also avoid any over-production concerns related to the Blair House agreement, he adds. “Their technical advisors simply dont understand the physics behind it.” “MAFF has totally overlooked the fact that rapemeal cake could be processed in a gasification unit to release a lot more energy than the other fuels, such as straw or wood, which they are supporting,” said Mr de Winne. That is despite rapemeal, the byproduct from crushing oilseed rape for biodiesel or food use, being a more valuable fuel than willow, he says. Land allocated to oilseed rape for biodiesel is land lost to willow or other electricity generating crops in the Ministrys eyes, says Mr de Winne. Mr de Winne was responding to a call for biodiesel support by the British Association of Bio Fuels and Oils. “They want nothing but short-rotation coppice,” said Mr de Winne. This is the main reason it lobbied against biodiesel ahead of last months Budget, says Terry de Winne, of Biofuels Northern Ireland. They can be craft workers, charcoal makers, conservationists, coppice merchants, woodland owners, or just wood lovers who care about the future of our broadleaved woodlands and want to help promote them. THE Ministry of Agriculture favours short-rotation coppice projects for electricity generation over biodiesel, claims a Northern Ireland biofuel pioneer. Woodland crafts also have a foundation of environmental sustainability, minimising the impact on the environment via locally sourced coppice and continuous.
