I wonder why people plant "non fruit trees" in
allotments. They create shade, take up a lot of space and you can't plant
anything near them because of the roots. All allotments around here seem to
have one huge tree at least and always in the most inconvenient place it
seems.

Our allotments don't allow trees.

Perhaps their trees have allowed allotments round them?

If they are mature they probably predate the allotment scheme by some
years. Maybe some council chap decided this was a good place to put the
allotments as they could keep the trees and still meet their
obligations.
