Hi there - we are restoring an old orchard, left to brambles for 11 years ! We now have 11 years of oak and ash trees growing right next to the fruit trees.. any idea what to do with them ? Chop them ? Move them ? coppice them ? - Are they too near, some are under 1metre away ?? what is max distance not for shading ( thats obvious) but more if i coppice them will the roots compete with the fruit trees ?
sorry to be such a begginer in this !
yours JJ
