Well I hope you were suitably recompensed for all that ballache.

'Conservation groups' recent attempt at pollarding & reduction on a 130 year old Apple.  Didn't even call in an arborist for consultation or guidance. I would have helped & guided them for free. F*cking disgraceful....I don't care how 'well meaning' they were... 🤬

Atrocious, no other word. Looks a bit too sound for 130 yrs tho 🤔 however no excuse for that butchery.  K

@Khriss Orchard itself is 260 year old. Historically logged. Ye see that tag around the Apple in the top photo if ye enlarge it. It has an planting marker - 1885.

Zippy wind fracture callout for Sunday. Freebie for the local primary school couple of streets away. Had some nasty tension load on it but even managed to save the bird box. 10 minute job to make safe for Monday. Ye don't want an 8 year old pulling on something & the whole stem unloading. Back to my stinking Sunday hangover. 😊

Bit of silliness from yesterday. Music won't be everyone's choice so be warned!
