HFF Middelburg Zeeland Netherlands 16th April 2026

Sunrise over the Walcheren canal in Middelburg.

Pollarding is a pruning system involving the removal of the upper branches of a tree, which promotes the growth of a dense head of foliage and branches. I have never seen it on trees whose branches have been trained around circular wiring like this.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

I am familiar with the pollarding system, but I have never seen these circular wires around the branches before. HFF Pete.

My…that is not only quite unique..the circular framework, I mean, but also the marvellous silhouetting against the sunset. Cracking shot, Pete
