Pollarded limes, Mayfield Road
Common Lime (Tilia x europaea, a natural hybrid) grows to an impressive size, for example in parkland, but planted in small-scale spaces such as residential streets – probably with the best of intentions – it spells trouble. Coventry City has grasped the nettle and operates a programme of pollarding in order to reduce justified complaints about loss of light, falling twigs and leaves, goo on cars and potential scary height.
