Haloing a veteren tree involves either felling or reducing a band of foiliage from the near vicinity of the tree being retained and restored, it increases light avaliable to the tree and decreases competition from closing in the new light space made by reducing the tree.

 

pollarding an old tree in a woodland would result in certain death without the light to help it re iterate its crown.

I see ,very good point more work but can see it been a pointless exercise other wise.

Im working on it for sure, though the project seems to be ever growing, and now a third volume appears needed "veteren trees"

Its never pointless, even if the tree was to die it represents much oportunity to a great deal of life, we must detach from the negative perception of death decay and dysfunction, dead wood, dying tres are part and parcel of the "healthy" forest

True but then we might as well fell and leave the rotting stump. would prefere to see it go on growing and lasting hundreds more years with some drastic management , just annoying the keeper has convinced the boss some thing has got to be felled I would rather of watched it go naturally as it's got some proper vigour compared to the last of the other bigger beech around here
