Pollard - Managing First Year Regrowth

http://www.edibleacres.org Brief discussion of how I manage young pollard systems. Pollarding/coppicing is cutting trees or shrubs when they are dormant and allowing them to re-sprout. The new sprouts are then managed for various purposes, making pole wood, posts, firewood, etc. In this case I'm cleaning up the 1st year growth of black locusts that I pollarded to release nutrients and light in an area I want to grow more food in. Here is an article I found that may be useful for folks: https://midwestpermaculture.com/2012/... Edible Acres is a full service permaculture nursery located in the Finger Lakes area of NY state.
