  • They seem to. I have several around the garden in different parts and they all do it. If you coppice them or cut them back they don't, as the growth is younger.

    The old tree is quite a gnarled, characterful specimen, with fissured bark that has a polypody growing in it (must have come on the wind, there no others here!), but doesn't have many berries.

    Thanks Buttercup. Good to know. I feel less worried about the tree now.
