xen Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Penang Botanical Gardens again It looks like a Phoenix robellini to me but ,if so, it would be one of the oldest i have ever seen . Another one in the same place. Looks like the base has been whipper sniped /line trimmer too much tho. Edited August 16, 2013 by xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had effectively killed them those trees come back in weeks. the way they llop them is entirely practical and the aesthetics take care of themselves i have a fair bit to do with arboricultural industry and i initially took those photos to illustrate exactly what a bad job it was.. . Without going into the technicalities , it is no way to treat a tree and the tree will never recover properly . The foliage may cover damage but there will be decay around the wounds and the new foliage will never be able to develop structural strength in the new growth. But then again i love trees .

samuijimmy Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not sure how I have missed the Penang Botanical Gardens, in my few travels there... going to have to check that out if I get down there again! There were two good botanical gardens I visited in Sabah State in Borneo, My. As for this comment Xen, "i initially took those photos to illustrate exactly what a bad job it was.." right on, so typical of how they go about pruning here though .... I cringe when I see the chopper coming! No undercuts even if the do use a saw, which is rare! Here's a rather sad looking tree in a pot.... on one of Penangs' streets! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
