So Proud!!

[Rupe]

I pass these trees quite often on my way to jobs. It makes me so proud to be in this proffession!!

 

Any of you who came to the Arb show at Cirencester may have seen these if you approached from the south, Swindon direction.

 

Not really sure what the job spec was as some have growth left on. Not very good photos!!

No. it looks as though it must have been done by proffessionals!! It not in my county so I don't know the tree offficer there but would love to know what they think of it in such a prominent place.

Are they Poplars? Looks like some kind of cool new pruning technique that somebody has made up:sneaky2:

Probably relieved that such hazardous trees have been made safe.

Yep they are pops, look at the second pic and you'll what looks like a Lombardy looks like the reduced the height and side towards the road thank god for professional tree surgeons making our roads safer.

 

Again i'm only guessing, although there is a similar belt of populars alongside the A34 near the M40 that have had similar work done, and an oak that has had the one side towards the road spanked. I can only presume this is to stop them being blown over???

Yup, I have to admit it was myself, it's called high french/west country pollard pruning, I will be touring the lecture circuit soon lecturing the gullible on this new natural, lightning, storm damage, straight cutting, good for the little creatures, pruning technique.
