Now that I have my knowledge of caring for annuals more or less established, I'm really getting fascinated with perennials. You're my favorite channel for that. Thank for taking the time to make all these videos that contain both broad concepts and interesting details.

I love my black locust pollard system. The term for taking all of the branches off the trunk or pole is called "shredding". I've been doing that for several years now, and have some nice posts growing for my future wood shed.

You must research....hedgelaying, antient craft of creating living walls for stock-proofing and field boundries.....never made it over to you chaps, done in the winter when trees are dormant, i think black locust would be good in a hedge....hedgaying is experiecing a huge revival here in Britain, i was taught by an 78 year old man, he loves his work, i look forward to the hedgelaying season....

It would be an amazing element to add here, but unfortunately the main layout of the space had already been defined, so adding in those layers in the property boundary would be hard at this point...

We did a similar thing here when we cleaned up the cedar along our property line. The branches make a nice high fence along the back of our village lot. It isn’t deer proof, but it moves their path away from my plantings

great video. When you pollard your black locust do you find that more suckers from the root system start to spread? Are they an aggressive spreading tree?

Sometimes a pollarding moment triggers suckering and running. Not always, I don't fully understand it.

@edibleacres
@edibleacres 2 жыл бұрын
I use a Greenworks 80V mower. It came with a bagger. I have a 4AH battery that really mows nicely for a bit. I have extra batteries so some can be charging and some in use and it can go for quite a while this way. Very very happy with it.

I couldn't tell: did you stick some of the branches into the ground so they root and grow? Will all or most tree species root and grow if you stick a cut branch into the ground?
@edibleacres
@edibleacres 2 жыл бұрын
In this case we were weaving the branches into a 'wall' of debris to make a barrier for deer. They won't root here. Not every plant roots by sticking branches in the ground... Elder, Willow and Currants are a few that root exceptionally well though...

I think I saw some poison ivy climbing up one of the locust trees. If that's true, can you talk about how you deal with it. I have noticed an abundance of this plant on my property this year and now have to figure out how to live with it. I don't want my grandchildren getting in trouble with it.

You appear to be a great bricoleur. I like the plastic caching and cinder blocks. I actually need some to build shelving and storage space for trees to keep them out of rabbit eating heights. These guys will destroy any tree they want at all times! Snacked on my burr oaks...thankfully we have millions of acorns nearby lol. Question: How do you get black locust to survive in your climate? I'm reading their range is only 20F. Is it "honey locust"? Native with thorns? I haven't found the native version anywhere near me, just the spikeless version. They're brothers I think (black locust and honey locust) as a species but you know your stuff way better than me so I'm confused. I know black locust is very decay proof and has hardness for days so it builds anything. Honey locust I'm not so sure. Maybe the forest service has old news?
