Pollards, the forgotten art-discussion

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Hello Knapp, whilst out in the Basque region of Spain recently, I was looking at lapsed Beech pollards that had been re-pollarded in the last three years.

Some of these had had moss placed over the pollard cuts.

 

Most of these had their own habitat niche associated.

 

Found that very intersting, as I had not come across that before.

Welcome to the site.

some nice pics there monkey, funny as i was thinking of moss wraps to encourage the woundwoods and advantigous roots to make new connections and discrete living channels! spagnum moss a little humus, some nettly cordage wrap, think this has some worth in trying dont you?

I think thats a load, you really dont need any qualification to get on in life, i would employ a man with experience and knowledge over a cocky numpty out of college demanding top whack any day.

 

If ypou are good at what you do people will sniff you out and pay the appropriate huge cash sum..

but it is fair to say that qualifications "PROVE" you know your onions, i think you need to combine the two. I know i am learning a lot, and am not afraid to admit i found out just how little I understood about the bilogy before i began "learning"

Pollards aren't the only immortals; check this out for longevity. Pity the bulldozers might clear the lot. Ancient tree (almost) older than dirt - Discovery.com- msnbc.com

Do you know how many times I have considered the "alternative" lifestyle?

patronising yes you was, YOU captalisation on save implies you are into provocation more than participation, you seem to enjoy provoking more than evoking.

 

 

 

Rubbish.

 

The captalisation was to emphasize the fact that you were saying it was YOU helping the tree.

 

I think you need to realise that on a forum, people made take issue with a post and point out where they feel its incorrect, BUT they are not taking issue with YOU just your POST.

 

If we cannot have robust debate without it getting personal, then a forum is useless, IMO.
