Our council has an Adopt-A-Street-Tree scheme so I have the two trees nearest my home. One is a conifer and the other a betula. When I went out this morning the betula has been broken off at the level of the stakes and ties. It was fine when I came home last night. This is the third time mindless morons have done the betula. After the last time I asked the council to plant a bigger specimen that would be less vulnerable. They planted a much taller specimen, about 15 feet, with the crown higher up. But they still got it. I'm afraid the council won't replace it this time. So the vandals win.
I hate it when I see that by the roadside... >:(
I will never understand why Morons get pleasure killing anything? I spose that is why they get called Morons. Sad. :'(
Sorry to hear that, Ceres. It's difficult to understand the mindset of folk who do things like that. :(

Sorry to here about your tree Ceres. Ask the council to plant a black thorn that'll cure em.
Ha ha! Blackthorn - that'll get the little darlings! I think the Health and Safety brigade might have something to say about that though! I've emailed the tree people at the council to ask if they'll re-plant something with a stouter trunk.
Pyracantha? :-X
Bad news Ceres >:(
Holly, Mahonia, Berberis..... ;D

Something that causes a rash :o
Our plot is about a mile away from our house. The road we drive along has loads of new saplings planted by the council ALL snapped off ... WHY???!! Little BAST*&DS they should be caught and punished but they are probably the same little darlings (9 years old) that were caught smashing up mine and others allotment sheds. >:(
Same here. Our sheds have been done too in the last two weeks.
