[QUOTE="egbert, post: 8122790, member: 9965"] It's a very big subject.... OK..At home -1000' up in 100" of rain-, I've been mixing Sitka with Scotch pine, euro larch, and now filling holes with wrc and DF. (broadleaved element oak/sycamore/beech/ash.... but it's a smaller element, as I'm going to be lucky to grow much quality BLs for various reasons) On some extreme exposure sites, I put holly and hawthorn in as shelter, with good results...but thats expressly for livestock On what we jokingly refer to as my 'Eastern Estates', -300' and 700' respectively, both on app 40" rain, less Sitka, more DF and WRC. I've given up on oak and chestnut, which I had heavily favoured, as the squirrels continually destroy them. There's several eucalypts gone in lately, and if commercial nurseries were able to supply, I'd be straying into more diverse durable softwoods. Coastal Redwood, cryptomeria japonica, nootka cypress, macrocarpa. Both the boy and I like to put in the odd wild card. I set the odd walnut and Atlas cedar on lowland ground, and he's been dabbling in fruit trees on the edges. PM me if you want help specific help...or if they have larch/wrc/oak/chestnut sawlogs to harvest. [/QUOTE]
