Tree work and holding thumbs




After two of our giant 150 year old oaks crashed to the ground (making us think the 3rd world war had started), we brought in Leon Visser and his team to take a look at them. Nothing to be done about their age, dryness and rot, he said, but a severe pruning to balance the trees better would prolong their life.



So that’s what we have done and now we just have to hold thumbs. We are very impressed with Leon’s work. Lots was taken off but the trees still look good.
