Trains, boats, & planes, & coaches lead to coppiced trees
No boats actually, but the other three came into play, and clearly TPP is not in Kansas any more, not that he was or even wanted to be. But here on the north west coast of Italy is where we find ourselves in a rented villa of an heir to the Fiat fortunes. One of the many things that give it away are how they treat their street trees. They use a lot of lindens, that are sometimes called lime trees because their flowers smell sweet rather like those of citrus trees. And they prune the heck out of them, a type of coppicing. In this little town the crowns are pruned to meet over the center of the street, which is typically enough one-way and narrow. And you drive under these leafy arches. It is quite lovely and as you know TPP does not like to see trees and shrubs poodled. But this is a bit different and on a grand scale. This is just not done in the USA except on a small scale in some gardens.
