A Tree for All Seasons

[David Humphries]

Monkeyd you'll put chipper firms out of business! no fire history? with public access, are multistemmed trees in last pics coppiced , grazed, purpose cut to produce multistemmed cheers j

 

If you refer to dead hedges, then yes there is the occassional arson episode, but topping up with green seems to keep this at bay.

 

The area the Rowan sits, is an area we call South Meadow.

 

It was a rough 9 hole golf course at the turn of the last century, many of the trees (Oak, Birch & Rowan)on there are multistemmed, leading us to believe they were grazed. Rabbits possibly.

There is no know history of coppice in this particular area.

A couple of fine Oaks.

 

Firstly from 1866 then a couple of shots over the last 12 months.

 

Guess I should get a shot of them with their clothes on.

I felt we needed to see some leaf! just to lift the spirits a bit after the cold snap! not relevant tree theme but i wasnt going to be left out of the postings:001_tt2:! i cant wait for barmy summer nights camping out in the wood with a brew on, laying back in my hammock whittling away:thumbup1:

Nice shots, but relevant to thread how?

 

Or does that particular Tree morph into different species at will

Solitary trees like that one in that situation, give so much natural presence to so many people within a neighbourhood.

 

Thank heaven for TPO's
