<p>This pruning practice is not peculiar to Noel Park, it happens across Haringey. </p>
<p>I've often wondered about it and share the fears for the future well being of the trees. My guess is that this saves a fortune in the autumn when there are few leaves to sweep up, and fewer angry householders complaining about blocked gutters. </p>

<p>I've often wondered about it and share the fears for the future well being of the trees. My guess is that this saves a fortune in the autumn when there are few leaves to sweep up, and fewer angry householders complaining about blocked gutters. </p>
<p>More guessing - if we ask Haringey for an opinion the the Chief Arboricultural Adviser will say , approximately, "LBH has a duty of care to residents and biodiversity and has adopted this widespread and proven technique to manage leaf growth". I don't know what the truth might be.</p>

<p>To root out a true answer <a href="https://www.ltoa.org.uk/boroughs/haringey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">For contacts I'd start with</a> the local branch of the London Tree Officers Association and leave no stone unturned. Please let us know if you get a plane answer.</p>
