The apple is about a trailer load, unbroken. 60mm to leaf. And yes you do want some leaf.
The Beech is a whole tree, trunk diameter about 150mm down to leaves. Probably a trailer … View more
Hi Food Smokers,
I have just doing some serious pruning, and included in those pruned are; Apple, Beech and Maple.
The apple is about a trailer load, unbroken. 60mm to leaf. And yes you do want some leaf.
The Beech is a whole tree, trunk diameter about 150mm down to leaves. Probably a trailer load cut up.
The Maple, was a serious trim - branches from about 100mm down to leaves. Could be 2 trailer loads.
There 's some seriously good fresh smoking wood in that lot.
If you want any of this, make a speedy reply as I will be clearing the section in progressively over the next 11/2 weeks and it must all be gone.
Send me a message and I'll provide details. Pick up is in Hunter St Hawera.
Regards,
Bruce
