Neighbourly dispute!

[eggsarascal]

My next-door-but-one neighbour has paid for this job on a Willow to be done in his neighbouring garden.

 

Even though he had cleared it with the owner that the work could be done, she was shocked at the result (she was out).

 

Forgive me if don't use the right terminology, not being a tree surgeon. All the canopy has been removed, to the fork you see in the pic.

 

She is worried it will never recover. See pics below....

Pollard, no issue. It will comeback with a vengeance

[Steve Bullman]

It will sprout exactly like it did the last time it was cut to those points. Standard procedure

Looks like a re-pollard, no problems there imo.

Best thing to do to a willow pollard the bugger. It will be fine and need doing every 4-5 Years depending on how it goes back

[skyhuck]

As Tom says, it will soon be back.

 

It looks from the picture like a shared tree, is it not growing in the middle of the fence??

[Steve Bullman]

Nothings ever shared skyhuck, has to belong to someone

I've worked on plenty of shared trees and hedges.

Sounds like the lady saved some money!

I thought so too. I wish he lived one house closer! We've got one or two trees that could do with a trim.
