Photo taken last Thursday in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent. Spreading sideways, this tree seems to have had a haircut leaving all the horizontal branches but nothing hanging down. Also it’s still got a lot of leaves where the trees next to it are just about bare. It’s random because it’s just a street tree, the fence and road and car don’t really enhance the picture. It is all about horizontals I guess.

That tree certainly did have a weird haircut. I have previously seen trees cut like that at a public park here in Brisbane

I think it’s so people can walk underneath it?

It’s got an interesting shape. Do you know what species it is?

No, I thought maybe a willow?
