<p class="has-drop-cap">It seems to be a full time occupation monitoring and managing the mature trees on site. This time it was necessary to remove a significant number of dead branches on the beech tree which were hanging over the drive. There was also a dead sycamore tree which had mysteriously died over the past year. The sycamore isn't the only tree/shrub to die along the section by the side fence. A number of hollies have died along with a laurel bush. It could be the land becomes too wet in winter - last winter it flooded. This is why I've planted a row of willows to be trained into a hedge.</p>
