Re: English Oak trees

I've sliced a wedge shape about 15cm down the face of a 5cm dia Oak tree and had the tree send out shoots every where, for broom style. The tree is another 5 years older and growing well. If you can get your hands on a copy of a book called, the TREE BOOK by J. EDWARD MILNER and read page 98 and onwards, he explains the old traditional English method of Pollarding and Coppicing of different tree varieties. One variety was the Enlish Oak.
