brushwood
Brushwood is a general term for thin branches . Other names are Reiser (plural for rice "thin branch") and the southern German Wied . Forestry economically is brushwood but for brushwood ( non-merchantable wood ) with up to seven centimeters in diameter, unless pole timber (that is thin, standing young trees).
use
Brushwood lying on the ground may be collected in the forest by anyone , depending on the applicable local or state law, without committing a forest crime (in contrast to logging). In the state of Berlin it is necessary to acquire a “gathering and reading wood certificate”, whereas in the Free State of Saxony, for example, the appropriation of reading wood through “careful” removal for personal use is permitted.
Brushwood serves as fuel, but does not have a high calorific value . Spruce twigs in particular are good for lighting a fire. It is folded several times into a fist-sized pack and lit in the hand. When the sticks are burnt, they are placed under the fuel. In previously poorer areas, such as on the Großer Heuberg , in order to compensate for the low calorific value and to simplify storage, brushwood was collected and bundled into rice tufts . A tiled stove , for example, could be heated with these bundles .
Brushwood is also used to make brooms . Birch veins are mostly used here. In the garden, beech leaves are used as "pea brakes" (climbing aids for peas). Bundled as a fascine , brushwood is still used as a fastening material in dyke, embankment and hydraulic engineering.
Spruce rice is also used to cover garden plants over the winter to create an insulating atmosphere when it snows.
Juniper rice in particular is used to smoke meat products such as bacon .
In plant refinement , noble rice or grafts are used for breeding.
Bundles of brushwood from deciduous trees were previously used as sheep foliage for winter feeding for wild animals and domestic sheep.
