Exactly what is it that the local authority, is an authority on? Remind me...

 

Pissing our council tax away - in this instance, I would say. K

Just shared this with my groundie. Even he ranted. There is absolutely no need for that sort of butchery. It also leaves the cambiums open to disease ingress. If it doesn't die it potentially goes into epicormic meltdown. They basically turned a tree into a widow maker...something they were trying to avoid from what I can make of it.  It gives the rest of us a bad name. They used zero enviromental sensitivity...don't get me started on cuts...all of it. Hi from Scotland by the way. Started on a rant as an intro

Welcome mate.

You’ll fit in perfectly.

Aesthetically it’s poor, but as it’s a lime it’ll be fine.

 

Trees don’t know what they look like.

Is it possible to kill a lime? I felled one in my garden, covered the stump with a massive log pile made up of various trees, covered it with a tarp and two years later when I moved the logs it had pushed a dozen shoots up through between the bleeding logs

Tiliaxeuropea cannot be killed by conventional weapons, I think it needs exorcism or holy water or summat. K

Well, LD, it is pruned leaving large wounds which allow fungal decay spores to enter. It is pruned at a time in the year when the tree is at its lowest energy reserves, it has been cut in a manner that has removed the classical shape of an open grown tree of its species, it is a feature tree in a park area for the public to enjoy. ( just not anymore ) k

Not only that, large wounds like that take out the connection of the crown down to the root plate, this often leads to death of the cambium associated with that nutrition pathway, its just a case of shit work and a lack of tree biology knowledge.

Do a lot of pollarding at all?
