The first time I saw it I was shocked, but the trees grow back very quickly and eventually look better for it.<br /><br />Not sure this is the right time of year to do it, but basically nothing to worry about, I'd say.<br /><br />What you do have to watch out for is trees being completely chopped down because some scuzzy, litigious property owner close by has complained to the council that their buildings insurance would be invalidated by having a large tree adjacent. This has happened a lot in London, but now councils there are, thankfully, resisting. I wonder if TDC has the bottle to do so as well?Richard Eastcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514972891192411470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-30042554075425929472010-07-09T23:14:40.926+01:002010-07-09T23:14:40.926+01:00Blimey, people talk about not wanting the council ...Blimey, people talk about not wanting the council to waste money, and they say that they want press releases just about pollarding a tree or two... no wonder they can't win !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-38471138978184207482010-07-09T19:11:40.914+01:002010-07-09T19:11:40.914+01:00The RHS has a page on pollarding.

Note sure if this link will work:<br /><br />http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/Profile.aspx?pid=156<br /><br />Their example tree is a bit smaller :-)<br /><br />Oddly enough, pollarding is also used to increase the life of older trees - as they often grow back more strongly than before, and it can give the trees a 'new lease of life'.<br /><br />The main down side of pollarding appears to be the outrage that it causes in members of the public, who may have never come across this technique before :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-83639117065089901372010-07-09T17:25:36.880+01:002010-07-09T17:25:36.880+01:00http://promotethanet.blogspot.com/2009/04/skywatch...http://promotethanet.blogspot.com/2009/04/skywatch-friday.html<br /><br /><b> it was april last year </b>Don Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-80259573668631843292010-07-09T17:18:58.109+01:002010-07-09T17:18:58.109+01:00Looks drastic but I think it will be back and if i...Looks drastic but I think it will be back and if its like my next door neighbours twice as big next year.They had a diseased one removed and a healthy one reduced last spring and it (the healthy one ) is back twice as big well as tall just not as fat.Don Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099505939055955603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-4660858753323934712010-07-09T17:03:22.537+01:002010-07-09T17:03:22.537+01:00It is quite normal and appropriate to pollard tree...It is quite normal and appropriate to pollard trees in urban areas but this is normally carried out during their dormant period.Readitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-22679023989507431872010-07-09T15:46:48.772+01:002010-07-09T15:46:48.772+01:00I agree with you this is stupid.

I have sent pictures of the event happening and the aftermath to Kent Messenger and they are going to write about this supporting us.<br /><br />We are also running a petition to be presented to KCCUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569884762372764361noreply@blogger.com
