Robinia coppice can be cut very early—at 8, 10 or 12 yearsold—and will then give a money result equal to that of coppiceof the usual indigenous species aged 20 years. Coppice is stillof value in France. Broilliard is quoted as saying, The robinia makes valuablecoppice which grows very quickly and gives much wood,excellent for props, stakes, wheel-spokes, parquetry, furnitureand turning. The species should be planted, not sown, and after being oncetransplanted in the nursery can go out at 2 years old. Plate IV.
