Hello!

I have always been amazed by the capacity of some trees to be coppiced, cutting a tree to ground level and have it come back to life! I have some trees that I think can be coppiced and I would love to learn more about it so I can use the resources I have better; just like the Permaculture Gods and Goddesses intended. This book would be very useful and appreciated in our little urban permaculture oriented yard.

If you have any free coppicing and pollarding learning recommendations, please share them with me. Thanks!

I have a couple of beds available for them seed babies. I am in the Seattle area.

Sometimes certain varieties won't pollinate each other though, and if you know the names of the varieties that you have, you can check a pollination chart like this one that lists both varieties to be sure they will pollinate each other.

You could also graft a different variety of plum onto one of the branches of your existing tree to get more pollination, if the two existing ones thst you have didn't pollinate each other.

Thank you!

I have been inquiring with friends to see if they know of any Asian plum trees out there (South Seattle area) so I can get some scion wood.

I have a Shiro plum I planted last year. I am not sure I have space for a another Asian plum. I did get a pluot tree this year. Will that work as a pollinizer?

I like my Hori Hori. I feel cool when I use it.
