All hands on deck! by janturnbull

All hands on deck!

How many people does it take to lay a hawthorn tree? Even passers-by stop to watch as it takes four of us to guide it into place. We're getting better at it now, though, with fewer accidental breakages. Some of these trees are a hundred years old and not very willing to lie down.
Interesting! I'm going to have to read more about this process.

Wonderful to see an old tradition still in use. Infinitely better than the modern flaying of hedges.

Fascinating. It's no mean feat to lay hawthorn...and impossible without the appropriate gloves.
