Ansard

[David Humphries]

Has anyone come across this term before.

I have recently heard it in conversation relating to veteran hedgerow trees.

 

I can not find any reference to it in either Peterkin or Rackham, and whilst on the blower earlier today, not even Helen Read could shed any light on the subject.

 

Any ideas fellas?

have a vague reccolection of hearing the term before and seem to think it is a variation on pollarding, but cant remember the details. will try to dig out some notes.

Friends is a tad bit strong, Helen is chief ecologist at Burnham Beeches. One of our Sister sites.

 

The phone call was work related (Ref; to our potential involvement in repollarding some of their Beeches)

Yeah, found reference to this inregards to the minutes.

Think in that context, it is derived from French.
