We have at least a dozen young trees on site waiting to be planted out this month and in addition have promised The Woodland Trust to bring three more to Gribin Isaf to plant at the end of the month:
Meanwhile we have one that has to go. Last month we wrote about our Eucalyptus trees. One of the large ones is rotting at the base and leaning on a neighbour for support.
Also it is looming over the site of the future rabbitarium
A tricky corner to fell something of this size so an opportunity to try out our saw-on-a-stick
letting us nibble at it bit
by bit
so it slides down in installments
lots of leaves and sappy stems to cart away
and some useful timber
The stump
is overshadowed by its partner
who will appreciate a bit more freedom and continue to wave its shiny flags
