Pollarding encourages new growth and maintains trees in a partially juvenile state. The Limes, as beautiful as they are, were casting \u00a0a large area of shade late across the lawn on a Summer&#8217;s day that it was almost as if night had arrived early. As you can see, the Pollarded trees now afford a clear view across the lawn whilst also creating a row of natural sculptures, which in time will bring forth the recognisable &#8220;knobs&#8221; of new growth so familiar with a Pollarded tree. Yewtopia undertake all of the tree work here at\u00a0<a title=\"Lewis Cottage Plants\" href=\"http:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\">Lewis Cottage<\/a>\u00a0and also maintain the hedges and lawns, in readiness for our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ngs.org.uk\/gardens\/find-a-garden\/Garden.aspx?id=25097\">NGS<\/a>\u00a0openings each year.
