When you next visit the Fernery you will see that a new boundary fence has been installed.
It is standard stock fencing which includes 2 rows of barbed wire at the top.
This has been done to protect the 2x old Oak trees from soil compaction and hopefully prolong their lives. (Their girths were measured a few years ago and are believed to approximate 160 years which is the same age as the Fernery itself).
A nutrient rich mulch will be added around them in due course.
