  • The maturity of a tree does not affect wood density. Density is determined by the stand density the year the ring is added along with factors such as soil moisture, temp etc. the inner rings will have the same density, whether the tree is harvested after a few years or after 200 years provided the tree stayed healthy.










  • In Germany we have got an integrated system with small pockets of protected forest inside leger forests. However, in opposition to most of the world, we don’t do clear cuts or the like, except for big calamities. we would usually fell single trees inside a forest and have the others left over for a later date or generations. You can get a year old sapling next to a 300 year old oak and everything in between right next to each other. Naturally due to historical over use, we haven’t got any old growth forests like in Ukraine or Poland, but we certainly preserve our ecological functions.









  • Anybody in the EU is rich when a lot of people can’t really afford to eat out once a month since they get paid barely above the absolute minimum to maintain a living while in Germany for example 2 families own more than half the population combined. Only because Paris is near and we get paid vacation doesn’t mean we actually have more money to enjoy life per se. And Paris is expensive.
