AIUI coppicing is to cut everything off above the ground, like they do in the Mallee for eucalyptus oil farms. No experience with the Robina, but most natives can be trimmed, usually after flowing. The trick might be to trim it back each year (half?) until it gets to the size you want then, keep it there. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} email: terryc at woa.com.au www: http://www.woa.com.au Wombat Outdoor Adventures Bicycles, Computers, GIS, Printing, Publishing "People without trees are like fish without clean water" |
