There’s been a pretty hard pruning of one of Wanstead’s magnificent cedar trees, on the junction of New Wanstead with Hollybush Hill. Cedar trees CAN recover from prunings like this, we’re told by a friendly tree surgeon, but it will be years before it has anything like its former shape. It puts Wansteadium in mind of Aslan on the stone table.
Unless subject to a tree protection/conservation order, presumably all of us, including the owners of Agin Court here, are free to prune trees on our private land as hard as we want?
Obviously. Just as anyone else is free to say it looks awful.
it will grow back in no time.
