New! Favorite trees for coppice?

I'm going to start a coppice woodland with American hazelnut and others.

I've found inspirations in the traditional coppices of UK, where the following were historically used: ash, alder, birch, hazel, hornbeam, oak, chestnut, and willow.

I'm interested in finding out what are your favorite trees and shrubs for coppicing?

What are your experiences?

Please post photographs of beautiful coppices you've seen.

Doubtful anyone on this side of the pond is going to have experiences with the practice of coppicing a woodland. It's one of those deals where Americans never quite got into thatched roofs or many of the other products created from the shoots. Coppicing never quite caught on over here for a multitude of reasons and I'd say that plastics probably put the nail in the coffin. Are you planning on going into the brush or wood chip mulch business? I don't personally find coppiced woodlands to be beautiful. I much prefer normal growth habits and prefer trees be allowed to reach their full potential. I understand the concept behind a coppiced woodland but I have my reservations about aesthetics or lack thereof. Also too, weren't you the person who already has termites or is afraid of getting termites?

There are many species which have a natural suckering tendency and lend themselves to pruning and sculpting in this way. I find a well-sculpted coppice a beautiul landscape element.

I am interested in the behavior of termites in the garden and am interested in the stories of gardeners who are willing to share their termite experiences.

American sweetgum and persimmon coppice all too readily, at least in my climate. Sweetgums tend to get very tall very quickly, though: I have acres of skinny 50-foot trees, too close together , sharing one set of roots it seems. Persimmons start fast and then slow down.

Sumacs seem to coppice naturally; mine do, anyway. Might be good candidates. Tend to stay short.

Coppices from Hell: paulownia. They are coppiced to 1) get gigantic leaves that some strange people find attractive 2) get trunks with no branches in the first eight feet or so -- supposed to be a big plus when selling paulownia lumber to the Japanese market. But I digress.

The persimmon - I like that idea. The bark would be a beautiful in the landscape and the fruit edible.
The sumac - quickly growing and useful for wildlife and humans. Both are native and both great for wildlife. I don't have experience growing Sweetgum, I'll have to research that one.

I despise the pawlonia, such a trash tree. The one I had to deal with definitely had a toxic effect on nearby plants, stunting their growth. When it finally came out, everything thrived.
