Hi All,
Looking for some more info A large beech tree was just cut down where I work and I was thinking about grabbing a branch to make a playstand for Shakespeare.Anyone know if that would be okay for him?
Thanks,
Debbie (the pain in the you know what)

Beech is on the safe list but I would be hesitant to use branches from a public property... do you know for sure they haven't been sprayed with chemicals?

OThers should have some more insight!

Cool,thanks! I work at an Elementary School and I know for sure this tree has never been sprayed with anything.In my town they aren't allowed to even spray for weeds or bugs around the schools

on the same topic, Just wondering, I am in Australia and have like 100 gum trees around my property, would a branch from a eucalyptus tree be bad for Barry my QP??
