Country Orchard Harvest and Hazel Fencing

A cheerful smiling dragon stands near a crate of ripe apples and a shovel beside a woven hazel fence in a rural orchard. Country orchards rely on natural boundary fences constructed from flexible hazel branches woven around sturdy wooden posts to protect growing fruit trees.

Traditional Hazel Hurdle Fencing

Woven hazel hurdles are one of the oldest forms of fencing used in agricultural country gardens. Hazel wood is harvested by coppicing, a method where stems are cut down near ground level every few years, encouraging flexible young shoots to sprout quickly for weaving.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why were woven hazel fences popular in traditional country orchards?
Woven hazel hurdles provided lightweight yet sturdy windbreaks that protected delicate fruit blossoms. They were easy to weave from local woodland materials and allowed air to circulate while keeping out larger animals.
How are apples harvested and stored in wooden crates?
Fruit growers pick mature apples carefully by hand to avoid bruising the outer skin. They place the fruit in wooden crates designed with slatted sides so air flows freely, keeping the apples fresh for months.
What makes coppiced hazel wood so ideal for weaving fences?
Young hazel stems grow exceptionally straight, long, and flexible when cut back regularly. This flexibility allows woodworkers to bend the branches tightly around upright stakes without breaking the wood.
