[pro bros]

carvers seam to like them. sold some locally and got good money for them

i would rather pollard the limes and leave them in, they are the classic avenue tree anyway.

 

are they unmanaged trees or lapsed pollards?

they are indeed unmanaged and app 150 years old (not my guess}but are growing on and destroying a {ha-ha}therefore pine will be planted back a bit

i cant see where you have said why:confused1: they are destroying (ha ha )?

[RobRainford]

I have had a 'ha ha' in a spec before now. It was basically a ditch with some sort of wall on one side. Thats the one I saw anyway.

 

 

Have there been any the choices considered for planting. I wouldn't have chosen pine tbh

[geoff]

Yep a ha ha is a ditch with a retaining wall,sounds like the limes are breaking up the wall.

scots is nice, kinda bluey colour needles and good firewood, damn sticky though..
