Any tree huggers, amazing documentary here

For reference I don't use that word jokingly as our Prophet Muahmmad PBUH did just that - well it was crying cos his pulpit was moved away from it and he went and gave it a hug to console it, to the nearest meaning. Someone on the woodworkers forum mentioned how they've found that they have a heart beat of about 4 beats/minute.
Amazing stuff and amazing documentary.

Interesting that Shaff. A bit overly romantic in places mind...
The lone Sitka I kipped under a few years ago grew to monster height and width, despsite being all alone (self seeded from an adjacent plantation which ironically has now been clear felled) so I think there is a bit more to it than that. Having said that, it explains why the mixed species coppice areas the conservation group I do work with are so disgustingly healthy!
Endless planting of single species, i.e. sitka is clearly a Bad Thing and that's what's happening all over the place round here, funded by companies buying their way to carbon neutrality.

Good point professor Phil
... Just messing. Yeah, really really interesting topic/stuff. We get taught (in our faith that is) that cutting down greenery is a bad thing (unless our of neccesity) and burning greenery is definitely a no no. I'll be keeping my eye on what's more to come.
Uni of British Columbia appears to be leading the way on the research side of things (good for them, unless they are part of the genocide-supporters which I wouldn't put it past many as trees obviously have more rights than humans these days... but I digress). This one here is an interesting one...

British Plum tree. Looks like I'll have to move the shed well and proper, or repot it somewhere that it can have the 3m height and width it can grow to in 10 years. Planted it last year.
Sitka, I'll look that up thanks Phil.

Haven’t clicked on the link yet, but can’t recommend this book enough for the fellow tree lovers
