Earlier in the year I posted a photo of a huge black poplar tree, very tall and with a great mop of fine branches at the top which made it vulnerable during gales. Its sister tree was felled in last autumn’s storms and when I went to the park last week I saw the tree had been given a crew cut for its protection in coming winds.
