Description This is a alley of very special old beech trees. Their form may due to a low cut long ago, but it still makes me wonder why they did not develop their normal high trunks.
Taken near Hilversum/The Netherlands.

It is due to "pollarding" where the young growth was continually cut for domestic use. At a young age the leading shoot was stopped so the tree would produce many branches at a low height. Lovely picture

Thanks a lot! You are quite right about the pollarding, as I know by now.

Yes, that one tree out of the row is a special element. I am still thinking whether I like it or not. It nearly made me give up the shot. So I am glad you like it!

Beech & Ash used to be coppiced for broomsticks, shafts for spears & various handles for tools.

Nice one, squire

Forgot, they were also pollarded.

Yes, I think these were indeed pollarded. It does not happen very often with beech trees though ... ?

That looks great to be honest. Even though they aren't the height they normally are.
