    The famous Dibble Tree in my home town of Carnoustie which was a victim of a recent storm (I posted some pics of it a few weeks back) has been pruned to within an inch of it's life. The surprising thing to me is that some of the branches have not been saved with the intention of turning them into souvenirs for tourists, Carnoustie is a famous golf town in Scotland. But the council seemed to have missed a trick as they have all been chipped and left for scattering in the local park.

    • In the second shot you can see some pollarded trees, but I imagine that thing was so broken that there wasn't much left to save.garbage
    • They left the stump, so it will be a nurse someday. I'm not suggesting that the Gardener himself go plant seeds.. but yes that's what I'm saying.garbage
