I don't see it's much different from growing hedges - better,
perhaps, to
let a tree have a few years of freedom, than to keep it 'cooped
up' at 6ft
high for ever ;-)

An obvious plant theft prevetion device which will be removed when the
tree gets too big to be carried away. The ANBG is in a very open
position and any tea leaf could have away with a small tree very
easily.
