Ash

The appearance of this tree is of slender, smooth curving branches on a long trunk.</p>
<p>It is usually the last tree to come into leaf in spring and one of the earliest to lose its leaves in the autumn. The Ash produces grey buds that quickly turn to soot black whereas some other ashes go brown. Situated in opposite pairs, the leaves are mitre shaped and have a serrated edge. Side leaves are generally stalk less.</p>
<p>A highly attractive aspect of this tree is the bark. It’s pale grey in colour and consists of a regular pattern of shallow criss-crossing networks of ridges.</p>
<p>The wood is extremely strong; lending itself to a variety of purposes such as hockey sticks, rudders and cricket stumps, but especially handles for tools and modern wood flooring and office furniture. When dried it burns with a clear blue flame making it a sought after commodity for winter fuel, but it will still burn if green.</p>
<p>Ash is tolerant of most soils and most sites including chalk, but flourishes on a lime rich soil, or moist, but well drained, fertile soils.</p>

Sweet Chestnut

It has an overall maximum height of 30m or can be coppiced to form small bushes. | <p>The Sweet Chestnut is a long-lived, fast growing, stately tree native to Britain. Sweet Chestnut''s have an average height expectancy of 8m after 10 years ,12m after 20 years and an overall maximum height of 30m. The branches spread widely if left to grow, alternatively it can be coppiced to form small bushes, which have been introduced into Britain, widely planted and naturalised.</p>
<p>The leaves are amongst the longest found in the UK measuring at 10 - 25cm in length, toothed and hairless; however, when the leaves are young they have hair on the underside of the leaf, in autumn these leaves will turn a golden yellow then orange. </p>
<p>In July, catkins can be found on the tree. There are both male and female flowers, with there being fewer females on each catkin. The female flowers mature into spiny green fruit, which then produce 1-3 edible chestnuts. The bark is dark brown and has deep vertical fissures, which spiral up the trunk.</p>
<p>Sweet Chestnut is commonly found in the southern parts of Europe, Meditteranean and Asia Minor and it was first introduced and grown in the UK by Romans. It grows well on light and acidy soils and dislikes chalky, heavy soiled environments but is also a drought resistant tree.</p>
<p> Bark from this tree is extremely useful as it is 20% lighter than oak. It can be used out doors, for example as fencing, without being treated even if in contact with damp soil conditions. It can also be used indoors as panelling and beams. If nails or screws need to be entered into the wood the hole is best drilled to prevent splitting. </p>
