Thread recap

We started with the BS5837 retention categories, you followed up about how ash dieback changes the survey, then I compared native versus non-native species. We ended on the most common broadleaf in the UK.

Native species include oak, ash, beech, birch, hazel, alder, willow, and hawthorn. The most common broadleaf is oak (pedunculate and sessile). Ashes are widespread but affected by ash dieback — worth flagging if your site has mature ash, since you may need to factor in a 10-15 year replacement plan.
