I saw these saplings planted in amongst some very large, mature Oaks. I can only assume that they are to replace the Oaks in time as there will be a fight for light and water otherwise. Not being a botanist or an arborist I could be totally wrong here! I decided to add motion to the shot to add interest and to reduce the presence of lots of distracting “twiggy” branches and so accentuating the vertical trunks.
