Sunset near Tiefbrunn
These are more pollard willows whose trunk has been shortened as a young tree at a height of approximately 1 to 3 meters and whose branches are cut regularly.
Since branches of willows were often used as piles for the construction of fences, new plants emerged from these piles due to the enormous regenerative capacity of the willows. For this reason, pollard willows often occur (e.g. in the Lower Rhine area) in a row.
Today, there is now economic use of willows, as industrial substitute products have been established. This is why pollard willows are no longer cultivated nowadays.
