This is the way they pollard the limes - in Glasgow

Just in case certain people think we ‘Top’ everything here in L/A land, here’s an example of ‘Pollarding’ in the true sense of the word. I have never ‘Topped’ at tree and never would, I have however taken Limes back to their original ‘Pollard-Points’, granted they might have been very lapsed pollards, but pollards all the same.

 

I’m lucky here in Worcester as we have our own in-house Arb-Team, as I understand this is becoming a rarity these days, so when people on here criticise ‘L/A’s’ for carrying out this ‘vandalism’ surely some of this might have been carried out by private contractors??

 

Ask yourself this…..Park Avenue in Worcester, Pollard 50% of the Limes back to original Pollard Points (they are lapsed, approx 15 yrs) The jobs worth £2700. Would you do it ? Or refuse on the grounds of the trees wont be ‘aesthetically pleasing’?
