How Much Does It Cost To Pollard A Tree? It all depends on the size and complexity of the job.
Small trees like this Rowan should not be too expensive because there isn't as much climbing required to do the job.
Our team will be able to manage a tree like this, starting from around \xa3100..
Which species can be coppiced? Most native trees, but commonly oak, sweet chestnut, willow, lime, hornbeam, field maple, rowan, alder and hazel..
Single out the tallest branch to remove and look for a side shoot three to four feet below the top.
Cut back to that.
It may be there are more than a few to choose from.
That way the tree height is reduced, rather than chopped and the tree puts its energies into a shoot rather than trying to produce a load..
Having a rowan growing near your house or steading was believed to offer protection, however cutting down or harming a rowan in any way would bring bad luck – a belief that is still widely held today..
A seed falling to the ground will need to overwinter before it pops up in the spring (or later)
I have lived in this house for nearly 30 years and have only had two rowan seedlings
You could try sowing the seeds in a pot of well draining compost and leave in a corner of the garden over winter
Good luckRowans need very little attention after they've become established
Water in very dry weather and mulch annually with well-rotted horse manure or compost
You may need to cut back suckering shoots coming from the base of the tree
Prune out dead or damage stems from late autumn to spring
