I am now based in Ystradgynlais, South Wales. Covering Ystradgynlais, Brecon, Hay, Swansea.

It's a good time now to start on rose pruning and fruit tree pruning while plants are still dormant. It can also be very satisfying to have a good old tidy up before the spring.

If you need a bit of help do get in contact:

Give me a text on WhatsApp preferably with a few photos of what you need doing and let's chat!

This means that most of the hardwood trees managed for resource in the UK (which are replanted after harvesting) are only useful for firewood. This isn’t good in country that is the second largest imported of timber in the world behind China. This film looks at the Future Trees Trust work to counteract this and breed hardwood trees which grow straighter and therefore require less maintainence. This is important for a low carbon future, as the more timber a tree produces - sustainable low carbon, low pollution building material - the less that get released back into the atmosphere.
