Plant of the Day

Recently on a trip to London I saw a team of arborists pollarding a row of Platanus x hispanica (London plane). This is normally done every few years to accommodate the trees in the confined city streets and to rejuvenate them. The pruning process creates these characteristic branch shapes with ‘knuckles’ at the end where new shoots will emerge next spring.
