Default Pollarding pic help please

I need a pic of the overall form of a proper pollarded tree (not some topped abomination) and a close up of the pollard head.

Also, I have listed the following species as suitable for pollarding, care to add any more ...

Willow, lime, ash, field maple, holly, hornbeam, oak, plane and beech

And would you agree that pollarding is mostly suitable to deciduous trees as they're accustomed to defoliation and store reserves for a full blooming leaf and bud response in Spring. Obviously you pollard them back in winter.



If you wonder why it's coz I'm building this page for my site. http://www.weareallabouttrees.com.au/pruning.html
