Observations from the Canopy

[@medacredland3461]

It is so lovely to see native species in your food forest. Thanks for including the pruning of them...this has been very useful. I love cabbage trees and am in the process of pricking out several hundred!

Can you feed the pruning of the flame tree to animals? ie goats and sheep or cows?

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

Flametree is devoured by goats, spines, bark and leaves. Low tannin, good digestability.. K

If you have dead,diseased and dying branches, do you chop and drop them onto the forest floor to mingle with everything else?? I live in U.K.

[@permadynamicsnewzealand2698]

It depends. Often branches die when the roots are attacked by fungi when the tree is about to finish anyway. So then the branches are not carrying a contaminating disease and can be left as mulch. However if it were say apple cankers which can spread then we take them to a bonfire pile and make biochar.

@@permadynamicsnewzealand2698 thank you for your prompt reply Here we also are advised by th RHS to burn contaminating diseases.
