I was really hoping to avoid that! I have around 16 of them, mostly along the stream that divides our two fields. They provide a lot of privacy and already house a barn owl and bats. Will the one that has lost all its main branches survive or should I replant another? If I must pollard them, how long would they take to recover? when is the best time to do this?

Hi, We have quite a few Black Poplars, which I'd like to keep for as long as possible. One has fallen over leaving just the main trunk. Co uld it re-sprout or should I remove it? I am concerned about the condition of several others, including this one. How long are they likely to survive like this? Thanks in advance for any advice.
