Pollarded alder tree (Alnus glutinosa) at a walled field boundary. The pollarding was recent. Pollarding is a wood-management technique in which all growth is removed from the tree above 2-3 metres at intervals of several years. This provides a regular supply of wood,and has the incidental benefit of prolonging the lifespan of the tree. Alder wood was traditionally used for making clogs in the North of England.
