Tree monkeys

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Tree monkeys

Post by Duncan »

The tree monkeys are at it again..... I don't know why they don't just cut the trees off at ground level instead of trying to make every tree look like a coconut tree.

These are the real tasty bananas the monkeys are after.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Part of the reason they do this is the rainy season approaching.

Yup, the trees they trim have very brittle branches which overhang roads in many cases, a few people have been killed/injured by falling branches.

In this particular area, the municipality shows uncharacteristic planning.

now, can someone mention the roads to them?

They do seem to go a bit overboard with the "trimming" and end up with horrible looking stumps. However, in their defense, the trees do seem to recover rapidly.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Its a form of pollarding ...It is sometimes the only way you can have trees in the built environment for safety reason, easy of management by having systematic pruning routine and lower cost....no need to survey the health of trees...you see this form of management in continental Europe ...also used in the country side for animal fodder after cutting the green matter is feed to farm animals...
