On This Issue Of Scarce Trees In The UK
I hear what you're saying about trees being cut down in the distant
past for ships but trees should have started again "naturally." The travelogues do not show farming or livestock activity that would prevent this from happening. Look e.g., at the British series, "Last Of The Summer Wine" from Yorkshire. In 1972, I bought a (mid-Atlantic) cow pasture and let a 3-acre chunk of it "go natural." It's a veritable forest today with some of the faster-growing species 60-90 ft. tall, e.g.,tulip tree, black cherry, black walnut, Norway maple, and red oak varieties. Eastern white pines were separated and planted elsewhere and they too are 60-90'. Even Bartlett pears started from seed are 40 ft. |
