That hard pollard thing is exactly how most people do trees around here. I don’t like it but did this on my lunch break yesterday at my shop. Very hack but good enough for who it’s for, and all done in an hour (with the Telehandler). The big tree gets trimmed once a year, usually not this hard...

Or maybe I just need to watch the regrowth very carefully and often….which is hard to do since I don’t climb and can’t get the lift to it.

I think I have attempted to yank up the suckers of my wattle like seedlings and found them connected to roots. This is mine…maybe I am pruning wrong? The regrowth breaks off like crazy. I think I’m gonna remove the whole thing. Or cut it down to the height of the sapling next to it.

Sorry for the bad lighting angle. Local college has a bunch of them and they seem OK even if they are sending up shoots everywhere. I wonder if they start shedding bad once they reach a certain age like mine. @Bermy? Or maybe too much water and they outgrow their strength? Probably should just...

No, but that's just my shop. A 40acre field on the east of town got full of them. Along the streets and alleys they are popping up like weeds...but they are not just weeds. Only weed size for now. Also the one in my back yard has shoots coming up from the roots all the time. Anyone have an...

Volunteer on the left a couple years old. The Chinese elms to the right are old but don’t grow much. My phone app says the willow is a wattle. Grow fast but I don’t think they’re good for spreading canopy car shade like the mesquites on the far right. On the left is the Apollo capsule parachute...

I have a willow in my back yard I’ve posted about getting out if hand and dropping limbs. Might take the whole thing down. Thing is, people are planting them here and there in the valley, and then I started noticing them popping up “volunteer” more and more…and they spread from the roots too...
