Why have all these trees been chopped down?

I know what you mean. However when the tree people have removed all the urgent problem trees, my hope is that they will come back and reshape some of the overlarge ones. Pollarded trees look extremely attractive, they are much smaller and can live 3 times as long as the equivalent standard tree.

 

Maybe they are just removing ones that are presenting a danger at the moment, they might do some of the other ones when the maintenance plan gets on to a more even footing.

 

Re bib. I'm not convinced that this would work in the case of Limes. They already shoot excessively from the base. Wouldn't pollarding make it worse?

All I know is that bank looked a hell of a lot better covered in trees than rubbish.

Loads have gone in beauchief too really sad to see these trees disappear suspect the council have pulled a fast one so they don't have to maintain them

 

Hi Fudbeer. Could you give me please the locations in Beauchief where trees have disappeared

Correct. I wasn't talking about Limes. I personally don't think Limes are suitable for Sheffield streets at all. They should be replaced with smaller native trees.

As on Shiregreen, when the estate was built, they planted woodland trees which over the year's, turned out to be totally unsuitable to be near houses.

The root systems damage drains and property.

Old, sick trees, are being replaced by smaller more suitable.

I think they may have been taken for xmas trees.... times are hard.
