You’re dealing in hypotheticals, imaginary rare insects and a world where future pigeon stocks from a single tree are essential to our food supply.

 

Then you finish every post with some  meaningless managerial cant aimed at impressing some imaginary examiner, bizarre.

I’ve read that ivy will live on a tree/with the tree, BUT....will kill the tree if left for long enough. Be it by breaking branches due to the weight or stopping the tree photosynthesising because it overwhelms the trees leaves 

Sod the squirrels nests and the pigeons, and as the op said plenty more on the estate.

 

cheers

I did a day tidying windblow after a recent thinning job. Each one of the 6 trees that came over was ivy clad, and ivy clad trees were only about half of the trees in there. They catch the wind in winter and blow over. The ivy eventually outcompetes the canapy too, killing the tree.

 

I hate the stuff. It's bloody ugly too.
