Everyone here is mentioning coppicing, so I suspect there will be some interest in the Low Tech Magazine articles on the subject:

And since we're talking about doing cool things with trees, I just wanted to mention that LTM has more interesting articles slightly "adjacent" to this topic, like this one about a half-forgotten technique for growing citrus trees in climates with freezing temperatures:

- smcl 4y agoI really need to check that site out more often. Every time I see a link it's great - that second link you posted about the Soviet Union's techniques for growing citrus fruits well north of where they're normally grown is cool.
- kriro 4y agoWow thanks a lot. I wasn't aware of this website. That's a place to spend hundreds of hours :) They even have printed books covering all their articles...those will make excellent x-mas gifts for some friends of mine.
- inkcapmushroom 4y agoFWIW you can replace the "www" in your links with "solar" to access LTM's solar-powered version of their website. It's off-grid and solar panel powered, so not available 365 days of the year, but I've yet to find it offline when I check. I think it's a neat project. :)
- laputan_machine 4y agoIt's a very cool project, and I really like the aesthetic of beige-ish background and reduced-bit, dithered images, almost feels like an old school magazine
