Putting a bower in apple pie order

Article Abstract:

An apple bower in the garden can simply be posts with parallel wires about nine inches apart supporting screens of cordon apples. If the trees are planted slanting in opposite directions, they make a diamond-patterned trellis. They must be pruned severely. The posts should be four inches square, with chamfered edges and a decorative tip. Protective iron collars around the base lengthen the life of the posts. Screens divide areas used for different purposes and create surprise.

Masters of the drawknife, the side axe and the froe

Article Abstract:

It is possible to create a single living structure from willows, according to Ewen McEwen and Susie Dadd, who have been working on willow sculptures together since 1992. These environmental structures are complicated to build, and require a great deal of after-care because they grow rapidly. However, this is very positive, as it encourages people to become directly involved. It is important to ensure that the living sculptures are carefully matched to their environment.

Don't be afraid to go out on a limb

Article Abstract:

Pollarding trees gives them character as the trunk expands and the new growth sprouts from one point. It makes a tree smaller and can refresh an old one. It needs to be done a little at a time or the tree may not survive. February and early March is a good time for successful pollarding. Pollarding is suitable for oak, ash, beech, elm and willow trees.
