#pollarding

[bumblebeeappletree]

“Pollarding” is a traditional tree/forest management technique where branches of a tree are removed a few meters above the ground, leaving only the main trunk and a few lower branches. The technique was widespread in areas where challenging topography and growth conditions made it difficult to obtain enough animal feed, like in Western Norway, which served as the basis for the case study in this video. The leaves and branches provided valuable additional fodder for the animals, as well as wood for tools, poles and firewood for the farm.

Plant of the Day

Thursday 1 December 2022

A skilfully pruned Vitex negundo var. heterophylla (cut-leaved chaste tree) which flowers late in the season and provides autumn colour. The tree can reach over 10m in height, but here it is treated as a pollarded tree. The previous year’s growth is cut back to the main stem, from which the next seasons growth will be produced.

Evidence of my willow work, and how big/wild I've let them get before this first proper cut back. Plus bonus black hen.

I stumbled across a photo (by Lindy Pollard) that fantastically mirrors a little dragon I drew a few years ago.... I can't get over this...

Random though, I just saw a tiktok video about pollarding wood and it made me think what a pollarded human would look like, then I got reminded of Hercules and his 12 gigs or wtv I forgot, and that one snake head thing that would grow two heads when one is down. So is Hercules pollarding the snack?

Looking at it, yeah those have definitely been pollarded. But to my knowledge, isn’t that supposed to happen in winter or after they’ve lost some of their cover already? Not when the trees are in full leaf.

Actually I’m gonna look this up and check...

...OH LOOK!

I was fucking right! I have no idea what kind of trees these are or if they’re even SUPPOSED to be pollarded but its the middle of summer over there. That is NOT dormant season!

Hell even if they didn’t destroy them directly tree law might still apply because damaging a tree to the point it can’t continue should still be covered.

You love to see it. (Not the destruction of trees, obvs, but shitheads meeting their oncoming comeuppance at the hands of trees.)

Daisugi, Growing Trees Out of Other Trees?

Save the Trees! We know that trees are our natural air filters, provide oxygen, water conservation, soil preservation, and support wildlife. Growing trees out of other trees? Seems like it is impossible? When I read about this method and saw images of this process, I thought, “Surely this has to be Photoshopped.” Some think that this method is a hoax and not possible. Yet such tree cultivation is…

The fact that the "BEYONCÉ?" "I just know his dick is big" "I'm so sorry this ugly bitch would say that about you oh my god" "You are the only bitch in this house I ever respected" "Why don't you take a look at the material?" reaction pics are not only all of the same woman and all happened within the same season of a show... that's herstory.

Fruitless Mulberry

Fruitless mulberry is conducive to pollarding. Even though silk never became a major commodity in North America, it indirectly made an impression on American gardening. The tree that was developed to most efficiently feed silkworms is now among the most popular of shade trees. The fruitless mulberry, Morus alba, wastes no resources producing fruit while providing only abundant foliage, which is…
