In Queens Park, there's a tree in the nature reserve with so many scratchings of people's names, it makes me wonder how they could do that to a poor tree.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
Very interesting capture. I have been told by a horticulturist that this really doesn't harm the tree. What would kill it would be for someone to deeply carve a ring all the way around the trunk (or a branch). It seems trees get their nourishment through the phloem, which is the second layer of bark, and doing that would cut off it's food supply.
