As its the only tree that grows around me I would be devastated to lose the
only tree cover we have. At 200 years plus a couple of mine are very fine
trees and rival many parkland specimens of british trees. Those that are not
fine specimens are reguarly coppiced for the stick, so are still usefull.
(and yes I do have to pull up dozens of seedlings every year!)
