If you have a nearby seed source, natural regeneration is a good way to get woodland. In a field, or even worse, relayed ground such as I suspect they have along the HS2 path, the first things that will come up will be birch, brambles etc. If there are trees nearby, they will contribute, particularly oak, which likes to grow in open spaces, but ash, hornbeam, sycamore and maple all have seeds with wings that will travel. We have opened up a few clearings in our oldest plantation, and apart from the dreaded sycamore, we are getting hazel, dogwood, and many more.
On the whole, the only thing worse than planting whips is planting saplings. They can work as street trees if the locals are willing to put water on them during dry spells, as they have been asked to do along son's road. They have almost 100% success rate after a couple of years there. |
