An ash pollard is a fine sight indeed. This Chalara is really quite depressing...

Really can't beat a good pollard, need to get myself in and around some big old trees over the winter! Windsor park anyone?

Some photo's Tony of a few pollards I have worked on in the past. Will make some effort to find out any recordings of associated reactive response & colonization of fungi & bugs that I hope are being recorded in some form.
