Experimental coppice fellings in the Montgomery district were carried 

 out in 1912 in different months from April to November ; measurements 

 made on January 10, 1915, showed that shoots obtained from trees felled 

 from April to August (i.e. aged two years five months to two years nine 

 months) varied in height from 6 ft. to 12 ft. 6 in., whilst those from trees felled 

 from September to November (i. e. aged two years two months to two years 

 four months) varied in height from 4 ft. to 7 ft. 8 in.- 



Measurements made in 1899-1900 in annually inundated riverain coppice
