My guest to talk about pruning trees for high quality timber is Josquin Tibbits; professional Arborist and Forest Scientist. Josky has been harvesting and milling pruned trees for his own building project. We discuss why, how, when and with what to prune young trees in order to confine branch knots to a central core and increase the proportion of high quality timber that can be recovered from the logs.  On the Bambra Agroforestry Farm we have been pruning more than 70 different tree species for timber and the results are great. Key words: Forestry, Farm Forest, Forester, Trees, Agroforestry, Regenerative Agriculture, Landcare, Timber, Lumber, Sawmilling, Farming, PlantationOnline Pruning Information:  https://www.agroforestry.net.au/ Our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bambraagroforestryfarm4008Rowan's media:WWW: www.agroforestry.net.au FACEBOOK: @bambraagroforestryLINKED IN: Rowan ReidINSTAGRAM: bambra_agroforestry_farmYOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@bambraagroforestryfarm4008  Thanks to our friends at Mountain Grey for the theme music:www.reverbnation.com/mountaingrey/songs   Send us a textSupport the show
