These pollard willows stand along a cycling and walkway in Almere Haven. Each year a team of volunteers pollinate the willows alternately as you can see. The next year it's the other's turn.
Some of them have grown into strange artistic shapes but are still alive.
Gosto destes olhares.

Makes me think of the Ents in Tolkien's stories. :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting. This is something I would like to see in the growing season.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSo interesting!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI wonder why they get pollinated alternatively. They need to get more bees into the area.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat an interesting process.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's wonderful that people volunteer to pollinate the willows.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenInteresting that they have to be pollinated by humans. I wonder if you will be seeing some green sprouts soon.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is a new concept to me.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThey look so sad but I suppose it has to be done.
