most arbs and all customers dont realize the best work is not done overnight, it takes time, tree time to turn a sows ear into a silk purse.

 

in this case the silk purse is the veteran old tree safe and in good form despite "issues":thumbup1:

 

as opposed to the "its goosed fell and replace" brigade, the lazy approach.

Is it the Devon climate that makes Holm Oaks grow so well there? My daughter's at Exeter Uni and there's a fine row of them along one of the entrance roads (St German's Rd I think) but I see very few around here in Surrey. That's a shame because a good specimen is an impressive thing indeed.
