I know, as to my regret I have three very large lime trees on my property with preservation orders on. :-( Cheers John T The neibour in question is Chair person of the National Park, so this is a likely possibility! However I did see her going up for a swim again this evening. If nothing else 2 distant neibours seem to have made friends, so something good has come of it. Now as to my neibours Layland trees at the bottom of my garden (OK for him he is on south side)- my neibour is moving, and agreed to us trimming them - such a shame women dont know the difference between 20 inches and 20 foot! The stumps will look much better. Janet |

Duncan Whjy don't you suggest having them pollarded. We have a lime 'alley' about 10ft high like that. They don't seem to suffer from the stciky problem but you do have to prune them at about this time of year. -- Jonathan Ward Remove the 'X' when replying Pollarded lime trees can certainly look stunning, as anyone who has visited Chatsworth garden will know! Cheers John T OK someone tell me how to "Pollard" Lime trees, sounds ideal. The man that does her garden is a "Roger" from Rogers Nurseries, he has not suggested Pollard, but I am sure would suit both sides of the fence. Janet |

Lime Trees
Pollarding is more for Willows as the resulting trunks formed from Lime are
not very strong and are often tied together to strengthen them. With lime tress the old practice was known as Pleaching, this is well described in http://shopping.guardian.co.uk/Print...538311,00.html The annual pruning of pleached lime trees is done Autumn/ Winter. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
