Chopping Trees
Over the winter I did some work to cut back some of the trees in the garden. There’s a little row of Hazels, which I will coppice on rotation to keep them a manageable size. The Corkscrew Willow was also spreading too far, so I cut it back quite heavily - if it wasn’t for the kids liking to climb up inside the canopy I would have given it the full treatment back to the trunk. This should result in new fresh growth in the spring and ultimately benefit the garden wildlife.
