A developers version of ring barking

[Dean Lofthouse]

Just a little too enthusiastic with the saw ?

 

One of the wind blown we were called out to today, three other trees will have to come down.

Do you know it was the developer?

 

Could just as easily be the owner of the new house, nasty trees making the garden dark and all that?

Selfish and petty whoever did it. Bit like the thread Taupotreeman put up a while back on poisoned trees.

Its stupid, it could of killed someone.

not very subtle but effective

 

why do you ring bark a tree?

 

to make it dead standing?? will make good firewood.

In my experience its usually assasination

It's a brand new house, new owner has only been there 3 months and he loves the trees, they are the edge of a woodland and shield the house from winds

Looks like it done a while ago from the colour and regrowth. Many others done also?

[Dean Lofthouse]

Just on this house as it's newer than the rest so presume it was a different developer.

 

There's about three that are ring barked but the whole woodland is a bit dire, apparently the owner of the woodland used to keep pigs in it, he applied to fell some trees and was refused so he smeared marmite all around the base of the trees and the pigs stripped the bark off the majority of them.

 

I knew the tale from this wood so was expecting to see said stripped bark and was surprised to actually see cuts

What a waste of good marmite!
