to be honest there were only two but they certainly knew how to decimate the trees outside the magistrates court today.

I always think it looks so harsh when they are cut back like that but they soon spring back into life!

Pollarding, I think they do it to keep lots of foliage but reduce root spread...

Proper tree management - they do it outside my offices in Ashford every couple of years and they thrive !
Been nice knowing you :)

They ought to come up to London Road. As you may have read in last week's DE, the old folks in the Anstee Road flats can't see out of their windows! They really can't see the wood for the trees!

As Scotchie says it is proper tree management which we see too little of nowadays. Trees in the wrong place - or simply allowed to grow - are a menace. I remember the outcry when EH cut the trees around the castle when they first took over but these were self sown and invasive as so many now are.
"Axeman, fell that tree!!!"
