Another fine Ash reduction

[tomshiell]

This, unfortunately is two doors down from my house. Note the spike marks!

Surely they are coming back later to fell the sticks and grind out the stumps ??

I've found that it's a common trend to leave the main stems like that, there is loads round here!

 

looks stupid IMO

 

what possible benefits dose it have?

Not likely Stubby. I watched him as he was doing his final cuts. The owner asked him "how long until its back up there again". His response was " 'bout twenty years". It was such a lovely tree. Real shame.

So its a pollard now . Stick with a bush on top type ......

Are they stems from an old stump? if so maybe the thinking was to reduce the weight on each stem, looks a bleeding mess though as most pollards do.
