[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6961287, member: 63856"] Most old trees (not all, mind) were "working trees", that is they were planted for forage and shade, wood, thatch production - rather than amenity value. Just been watching some videos about it as that's what we want "to reinvent" here - pollarding for drought reserve as a form of silvopasture/permaculture. Kinda ironic twist that this "cutting edge climate-change stuff" was in effect in the UK a thousand years ago and then largely replaced by a less resilient food system... all I can say is those old trees have earnt a place. Look after them as monuments. [/QUOTE]
