Excellent day for Climate Change deniers - with such low temperatures here in Scotland they must be right #bs

A short thread on Hedge flailing. This hedge has just been flailed. All of the berries that could have helped feed winter birds have been shaved off. Valuable structure eg from brambles growing at the base, has also been removed.

The late Jimmy Ratter was an indefatigable botanist working mostly in tropical South America. The giant fern Acrostichum aureum did not faze him. Here @RBGE_Herbarium is his collection of this fern from Brazil comprising 8 samples from an entire 2.5 m frond

Prumnopitys andina - Endangered Chilean endemic conifer. This is no normal hedge being cut by @duncanyoung16 @TheBotanics. It comprises 50 individuals from 30 wild trees - but most no longer survive in Chile due to logging and flooding of valleys for hydroelectric power!
