European beech suitable?

<< < (6/6)

stuckinthemud:
At the end of the day, if you can cut a beech sapling for free, you may as well try it and see what happens. You don't really have much to lose, especially if you build to match a string you already have . that's what I'm gonna do anyway

Del, you say Norwegian Maple is good. It is planted by the city in parking strips everywhere down in Salt Lake. I always thought it was junk as every early or late snow branches would snap like glass. I know they were affected by a fungus(There is a reason not to use non native plants). They were cutting them down all over my old neighborhood because of that. If I would have known I would have taken some.

Maybe what you have over there isn't the same as we have over here (UK)?
It's very hard to accurately identify trees... the wood near me is mostly European Hornbeam, Oak, and what I think is Norwegian Maple... maybe it's native Uk Maple ... I dunno, but some counicl bloke told me that one they'd cut down was Norwegian Maple... i was moaning that they'd cut it int 3' lengths  ::)

Hmmm? i would thing the only difference would be minor hybrid tree farm changes. Maybe try it out someday
