Genius

Like “crepe murder”?

Awesome video. Is it similar to the way the Japanese harvest trees as well? Your animator is PHENOMENAL.

Interessant video.

Fire does the same thing. Removes litter and debris. Prescribed burns are common in many parts of the U.S.A. In parts where they are banned, litter builds up to the point where a lightning strike causes huge catastrophic forest fires that cause billions of dollars in damage.

You are missing you are missing the most significant fact about Pollarding. The height at which the original tree is cut off is the height at which herbivores cannot eat the fresh buds in countries like France this is the way to grow firewood and fodder out of the reach of hungry cows sheep goats. Then go features this unique landscape all the time

Not a single picture of a real tree... What is that called? Crap.

well done fellow europeans <3 keep loving, keep pollarding and supporting local culture and rich-diversified landscapes !

This will work with cherry oak and gum but not on trees like pine

Is Paula Pant narrating this? Sounds like her

Nice! Short, sweet and information rich. However over here in the UK fuel (wood, charcoal, whitecoal) may not have been the primary product of much coppice. Hazel coppice was common and very valuable, cut at around 7 years, so the desired produce was small diameter and used for a vast range of products from wattle room dividers and house wall sections to sheep hurdles, dry cooperage, crates and clothes pegs.

Nice. Short and succinct. Here in the UK we have a similar tradition for similar reasons that has similar cultural and biodiversity value and which has undergone a similar decline. Unfortunately we don't have a similar effort to restore and maintain these old trees. Not wishing to intrude, but this vid shows some of the issues..... ua-cam.com/video/LNlVu8f7cb4/v-deo.html To the authors: boot this comment off once you have had a look maybe?

This explains why growing up in se Utah, our landlady had a Black Locust tree, it had a big trunk,and very tall, but considering its native habitat is the midwest and southern states, where it rains more than out West, well my mom planted some tomatoes, radishes and squash and the runoff of the water, permitted that ol' black locust to coppice, my mom left two of the shoots and they grew quite big, I wouldn't be surprised if that black locust is still alive and thriving after 42 years of moving from there.

What's chesnut eh

I got pollarded by a Norwegian once - wasn’t fun!

This is still common in my Northern Californian Neighborhoods. No idea how it got started here, the neighboorhood is from the 1950s!

What a beautiful video, thankyou and well done

So Donald Trump was right about the Finns raking their forests!

I love this.

If a society requires huge amounts of dimensional lumber for building purposes, then coppicing doesn't make a lot of sense. If what one is searching for are smaller diameter hardwood logs suitable for growing mushrooms, fence posts, making charcoal, barrel staves, tool handles, etc, then large scale, coppiced, mixed species, hardwood forests that are an integral part of a silvopasture system with multiple domesticated animal livestock species utilizing the coppiced forest throughout the 4 seasons makes eminent sense. The problem that I see with current day European countries where large hectare historical hardwood coppiced forests have existed for centuries is twofold. First, is that modern-day humans want *EVERYTHING, RIGHT NOW,* and coppiced hardwood trees aren't going to regenerate a new crop of harvestable logs in anything less than 8-20 years. Which means that a farming business that requires a dependable yearly income from a coppiced forest is going to require a sufficient number of hectares/acres planted sequentially across whatever time span that a particular tree species requires between harvests. Plus, a substantial amount of additional hectares/acres for the necessary wriggle room to account for seasonal weather irregularities such as too much precipitation or drought. Second is that there seems to be a worldwide anti-humanity, anti-historical farming, anti-Green Revolution farming movement in place that is tightly aligned with an anti-capitalist, pro-Marxist, pro-Socialist, pro-Communist, let's put right every single historical wrong movement where anything from the historical past is viewed as wrong, unjust, oppressive, patriarchal, etc. As a result of this 3 decades long push against the past, the large hectare historical coppiced forests in Europe are under attack as the Social Justice warriors attempt to redistribute those forest lands into hundreds of tiny plots of severe hectares each.

Modern forestry seems to be the main culprit here, hmm.

There was a phase when I was living in an apartment with two cats, and I decided I didn't want to buy cat litter anymore. I went outside in the woods, and I dug up a bunch of leafy mulch and used it as cat litter. I'm sure the cats were surprised, but they did use it. Obviously, it wasn't as convenient and easy as just buying litter from the grocery store. But I would just go ahead and dump it over the hill into the woods, although I didn't mention this to anybody because I'm sure somebody somewhere would have freaked out about, OMG, animal poop in the WOODS! End of world! These are the same people who would rather put poop into a non-biodegradable plastic bag, and leave the plastic bag sitting there, thinking that a non-biodegradable plastic piece of garbage is LESS bad for the environment than the poop itself, drying out in the open air and then decaying.

Around my neighborhood is a park that used to be farmland. There are lot of willows that are pollarded. Volunteers maintain them. I never looked how they are shaped. now i will.

While visiting Uzbekistan I noticed many pollarded mulberry trees. Fodder and firewood, along with silkworms were what I saw the wood used for.

I još jedan benefit:u sredini gdje je stablo šuplje,skuplja se lišće koje trune i daje najbolji mogući kompost za sadnju cvijeća.Ako je stablo vrba.

I use coppiced willow for weaving baskets and making hurdles and trellises for my garden.

Could you hide a body in one of these trees?

What’s with the cartoons

It’s tragic loosing these beautiful trees. The timber is very useful and has wonderful properties. I am wondering what tree species can be used as a substitute for ash in such uses as coach building and suchlike.

Thank you from a first time viewer and new subscriber! I have been interested in pollarding and coppicing for some time, still, I found things new and interesting in your video.

Leaf litter builds soil increasing fertility for the forest. Collecting dead fallen wood and burning that slowly makes biochar to scatter for more fertility. Work with Gaia.

It's weird, I understand the benefits of coppicing and pollarding, but there is still something horrifying about. These beings are trapped in place and have their fresh parts cut off every year. Just as they are trying to regenerate from the last wave of destruction, another one comes, over and over, for decade after decade.

Does coppasing make any sense in a city enviroment on a hot climate?

Many of the trees - oak, chestnut, beech, hazelnut,etc. - provided nuts that would feed wild boar which could be very damaging to cultivated areas. Removing that food source and providing it as bedding for domestic pigs would give the pigs food, bedding and fun as they rooted for treats. That's how we get Jamon Iberico. The very best driest leaves could be used for human mattresses but that would require relatively small amounts of leaves. Thanks for the video.

Works for willow trees too

Strangely how governments banned (and yes, pollarding and coppicing had been banned in large parts of Europe in order to get more long straight wood for shipping and construction) practices which were both economical and diversity-friendly :) ... then you have the totally insane greenies preventing tree maintenance :)

litter raking also helped with fire prevention and allowed cattle grazing, and the wood grew slower and was higher density and thus quality

Wow! It's really interesting!! I'm curious to know what species of trees were used ❤️ thanks everyone

As long as the coppicing scale is not like the huge 10 hectare square x100 plots that people make with Pines to get a harvest each year. If it's on a much humbler scale I'm not necessarily opposed to it.

People don't coppice well. Don't ask me how I know.

This girl has to work for NPR

YES!!! I just convinced a customer today to let me grow a line of trees until they are able to be coppiced in order to weave (with grafting) a living fence that can be chopped and dropped to feed the soil. It took me 20+ minutes to explain why it was important. This video is DENSE with information. I can't thank you enough for saving everyone's time in the future! Liked, subscribed, and currently waiting on popcorn for the binge-watching session of your channel.

We can work with nature instead of against it! Great video. Hope this gains traction because the production quality is really good and I thought this was very interesting.

🌳

Also charcoal 🧐

Would be better if there were subtitles to make the information accessible to a wider audience that is interested the topic✅

Most people only mention pllarding and coppicing when talking about "getting straight wood for wattle and daub" and don't ever mention the other benefits of coppicing and pollarding. Good videos!
