Lapsed pollards

[Steve Bullman]

Ok, title might be slightly misleading.....as these Limes were pollarded too late in life anyway, hence the decay. I started this job 4 years ago, selecting the worst trees to re-pollard first so as to leave some form of an avenue remaining. 6 werent even worth considering saving and were felled and replanted. Went back this week to finish the remaining trees. Sorry no before pics....the trees had on average about 30ft of growth, in various states of decline. The trees pollarded in the first cycle have put on a decent amount of growth in the past 4 years so hopefully they should hang on for a few more years to come

Any ideas on the age of the trees?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Nice work bullman, very nice, any fungi on them?

[Steve Bullman]

no idea....no way of guessing in their condition either...couldn't even make a guestimate based on the estate either as thats years old

Why on Earth have you got a miniscule ladder stood up in the back of your Navara?

Interesting if monotinous job.

 

 

Really like working on old avenues, makes you think around the fact that you now have a part to play in someones landscape vision from the past.

You getting a stock pile of July race course badges as part payment, from all the horsey folk
