Low hanging fruit ............

Interesting topic. I'm not aware of it being a thing to bend out the crown of a tree, other than for fruit trees where I think it's a technique that's used sometimes, to increase yield and to make harvesting easier. No reason why it can't be done with other trees though. The method you suggest sounds as good as any. The branches won't resume their original shapes once the tension is relieved, as long as it's left long enough. Though new shoots, young branches will always revert to vertical if left to their own devices. Have a look for images of old, grown-out laid hedges - theres lots of near horizontal tree trunks around the place. Testimont to the lasting effect of what you want to do You can even grow chairs from sycamore!

Yeah, standard Daily Wail. Demonise the least fortunate, or victims in any situation, and stir up as much outrage and division as possible. It floats some people's boats apparently.

I wonder what the Conspiracy Theorists are making of the mask? Something outlandish no doubt.

Interesting. Not heard that before. "It’s an entirely avoidable disaster, but unless we prepare now, in advance of any foreseeable disasters, we run the risk of mortgaging our entire species’ future in space, all because we failed to take the necessary precautions." - so that's another thing to look forward to in a few years then.

Why's he got a mask on?

Coconuts are good, but it takes quite a bit of patience to crack the shell away from the flesh first. The coconut water inside is good also. I wouldn't buy them in a supermarket though.

Yeah, i think you might be right, everything was a bit too generic in that post. What a world we live in now, where we can't trust anything we read?! Only going to get much worse too, with the ascent of AI.

Elon showing his firm grasp on reality again there.

Probably. I've heard removing ancient woodland justified by the promise to plant hundreds of new trees, (into made up ground and half will more than likely die after the first year anyway). The people that make these massive decisions really have no idea. Or even worse; they do but don't care a damn about the consequences of what they do.

Slightly closer approximation of an omelette here.

At least Boris's garden bridge didn't destroy hundreds of acres of ancient woodland. Microsoft WWW.WOODLANDTRUST.ORG.UK
