That is odd, that extreme pollarding. I must confess I too dislike it, it was an experiment we tried with "light" pollarding, but even that did...
I still have questions re tree-topping. European forest managers seem to keep the trees smaller. I see in Saanich all the hugely tall evergreen...
To those who wanted pictures... the top one is a formerly partially-pollarded Kanzan cherry, not particularly attractive, but I doubt the tree...
By the way, thanks for the info on how to expand the photos. I did not notice that prior to reading your post, wcutler.
The two trees above were never pollarded, but were trimmed a bit from below. We did not want to try pollarding ones at the front of the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here are two townhouses in our condominium... the one on the right is mine. You will see how tall and uneven the Kanzan...
Thanks, I will ! Kind of a busy day, but will take some pics to show the branches as mentioned above; later, when the blossoms come out I will...
You mean you don't see the point of pollarding? I think in a crowded townhouse complex with a very big Kanzan cherry tree dominating over...

I am glad you are still contacting me to read posts. I will examine this closely, we have a water feature in our back townhouse patio that might...

I read through the entries [edit by wcutler: entries are now at Fruit and Nut Tree Resources Discussion] more carefully and saw the sources...
Thanks, will certainly investigate Fruit Trees and More, don't live far away from it I guess. There are options around Victoria, of course,...
I have been off the forum, actually, for some time, having done most of my set-up gardening here and no longer at the moment anyway on our strata...
Thanks, I'll try to... the garden I want to put it in is probably in a bit of a cold air collector area [somewhat below street level and on the...
I am going to take out an overgrown Weigela which the deer here in this Saanich neighbourhood are always going for [besides the very dark red...
Exactly, it was my motivation too. I live in a townhouse condominium complex in the Greater Victoria area of British Columbia in Canada [I see...
Absolutely... plants good in the other part of Canada one has to avoid, I went through that just after moving here. Items I grew there did not...
We have a plague of deer around here, so I have to plant the clematis inside a patio, either in the ground near the fence, which is fine, or in a...
