I'm new, following this thread since I discovered a hedgerow layer's Instagram account and thought it would be an amazing addition to our 300 y o farm in WV
One thing that @westcountry_hedgelayer said in response to a question of mine is that elm is a good tree for splitting and laying, as it splits well; maple, on the other hand, splinters. I see that the splitting issue was discussed before and I think the idea of Osage orange is a good one. Hoping to get a start on the project soon since he also said it takes about 8-10 years before saplings are mature enough to split.
