Thick birch pollarded in Amstelveen

A birch is not at all a suitable tree for pollarding or candelabra. But that had happened to this birch years ago and in addition to the large and rotten old pruning wounds, very large new shoots had started to grow again.

A birch is not at all a suitable tree for pollarding or candelabra. But that had happened to this birch years ago and very large new shoots had started to grow next to the large and rotten old pruning wounds. I could climb into the largest shoot and make my anchor point. From that anchor point I could reach and climb the other trunks of the birch.

Look down. Here I am in the tree.

Look upwards. There is my anchor point. This way I can climb all the side branches.

At the top near my anchor point.
