[QUOTE="Montexy, post: 7603863, member: 149985"] I planted a small copse area about 30 x 30 yards about 25 years ago, used Oak, Field Maple, Holly, and Ash, the Oaks have grown very tall- must be 35` but slender as they were too squashed in and were all competing for the light then two years ago all of the ash got dieback and I have taken them out now the Oaks are looking good, have more space, started branching out - give it another year or two and I will thin out the Maple to give the Oaks more space. Someone mentioned Hornbeam earlier and I planted one of those in a field at the same time and it is one of the best shade trees on the I planted. Most of the trees went in as 5 or 6` high whips. keep them watered in the first summer - bit of a chore but worth it in the end. [/QUOTE]
