When is best time of year to take yamadori?

Looks like a Fagus aka Beech to me. But I read in your comments you dug it in France. It's useful to use botanical names rather than common names to avoid confusion. European Hornbeam is Carpinus betulus.

Thats a Beech (Fagus Sylvatica) not a Hornbeam (Carpinus Betulus)

Are you sure that's not a beech? Looks beechy...where did you dig this bad boy up?

[xaryuo]

the collecting must be done in early spring or someting can be done in fall?

[grahamharlow]

When in march did you collect the tree, early, middle or late march?

Nice video, question, is it ok to completely cut oak, or birch back say to about 3 inchs from the ground, so nothing is left at all, I have some oak & birch in the ground, I want to cut back nearly to the ground.
