It is so lovely to see native species in your food forest. Thanks for including the pruning of them...this has been very useful. I love cabbage trees and am in the process of pricking out several hundred!
It depends. Often branches die when the roots are attacked by fungi when the tree is about to finish anyway. So then the branches are not carrying a contaminating disease and can be left as mulch. However if it were say apple cankers which can spread then we take them to a bonfire pile and make biochar.

Great video and so much useful information. Thank you!!!
Could you please type the name of the tree you were pruning up there? And the best way to propagate it 🙏🏼
Great video!

Can you feed the pruning of the flame tree to animals? ie goats and sheep or cows?
Flametree is devoured by goats, spines, bark and leaves. Low tannin, good digestability.. K
Where did you get the climbing frame?
Scorpro engineering rotorua
If you have dead,diseased and dying branches, do you chop and drop them onto the forest floor to mingle with everything else?? I live in U.K.
