  1. brush: a dense growth of bushes
  2. To manage a wooded area sustainably, as a coppice
  3. (coppiced) Trees cut down to ground level and then allowed to regenerate. Most native trees, with the notable exception of pines, will regenerate from stumps (stools) or will send up suckers from the root system (notably elms). ...
  4. (Coppicing) The cutting down of a tree within 300 mm (12 in) of the ground at regular intervals (typically on a one to five year rotation). Traditionally applied to certain species such as Hazel and Sweet Chestnut to provide stakes etc.
  5. (Coppicing) The traditional form of management of much of the broadleaved woodland in the UK.  It involves cutting down trees and shrubs near to ground level, allowing the tree to re-grow from the stump, and re-cutting at intervals of one or more decades to provide long straight poles.
  6. (Coppicing) cutting trees close to ground level with the intention of encouraging re-growth of multiple shoots.
  7. (Coppicing) A traditional method carried out on a rotation basis, whereby tree stems are cut down to the stump to stimulate new growth.
  8. (Coppicing) Cutting of woody stem at ground level to encourage growth of several stems from one root system.
  9. (Coppicing) Many trees once cut at the base will grow back vigorously and this has been a traditional way of growing small diameter wood for fuel and fencing.  Typical coppice trees are chestnut and hazel.  We have an article on coppice here:
  10. (Coppicing) This technique is used to produce ornamental stems, juvenile foliage (for flower arrangements) and multi-stemmed rather than single stemmed specimens. Traditionally certain trees were coppiced to produce fencing materials, hurdles, spars and firewood on a 7-year cycle.
  11. (coppicing) A method of woodland management whereby hazel, hornbeam or sweet chestnut trees are cut every 5-15 years just above the base of the trunk to stimulate growth of a number of narrow trunks called poles, which are used to manufacture of charcoal or fence posts. ...

  21. Forst regeneration by sprouting (vegetative reproduction) from stumps or roots.
  22. a medieval technique in which trees or bushes are regularly cut back to low stumps (STOOLS) to promote the growth of many straight stems useful in the garden as pea sticks and supports. Chestnut and hazel are traditional trees for coppicing.
