    My neighbour has a plantation of these, and has recently been thinning them out. The felled trees are now in metre lengths, split, stacked, and I've bought them!

    There are still plenty of them and they look spectacular in autumn; even though his are planted in straight lines.

    It really is a beautiful tree. I hope I shall be sitting under it again one day.
