The leader of a company in charge of trimming a tree featured in a brand-new Banksy creation in northern London expressed that the art piece has brought more value to the location.
On Monday, the street performer affirmed that he was the one accountable for the art piece located on a building wall in Finsbury Park.
The wall behind the cut-back tree has been painted in green color to give the illusion of lush foliage.
According to Lawrence-Thor Stephen, a 33-year-old individual, the artwork has sparked positive conversations surrounding trees in urban areas of the city.
The most recent creation by Banksy includes a portrayal of an individual clutching a spray can alongside it, accomplished through a stenciling process.
Check out the latest piece of tree art in London that's believed to have been created by the infamous street artist, Banksy. The style is so unique that it's instantly recognizable as his work.
On Sunday, a mural appeared on a building on Hornsey Road and there was discussion about who the creator was. Later, the artist made a statement on Instagram taking ownership of the artwork.
According to BBC London, Thor Trees, a company owned by Mr. Stephen, has been given the responsibility of pruning trees in Islington Council borough. They have a contracted deal for the same.
While watching BBC One's news bulletin, he noticed a tree that he had previously pruned himself. He recognised it and it caught his attention.
According to Mr. Stephen, who lives in Enfield, the Islington Council gave us precise guidance on how to trim the tree down to the last centimetre.
According to him, Banksy's work has completely improved that part of Islington, which is already a lovely borough with many protected trees.
It's impressive how it has stimulated Banksy's creativity. He must have come across that tree and realized that it'd be the perfect empty space for him to express himself.
According to the Islington Council, Banksy's cherry tree selection is between 40 to 50 years in age and is gradually deteriorating due to fungal degradation and decay.
In the blog post, Mr. Stephen talked about how his team utilized an old-fashioned technique of pruning called pollarding, which involves cutting off the upper portions of a tree.
He described that the method restricts the tree's development and prevents fragile branches from falling down.
According to Mr. Stephen, this is an effective method for prolonging the tree's life and managing its growth.
I am anticipating a significant growth during the spring season, and I am intrigued to witness the development of the artwork in the upcoming months.

This has garnered a significant amount of interest from those who enjoy being in a natural state, visitors, and sparked many conversations within various organizations.
The ongoing talk regarding that particular artwork is remarkable - it's fantastic how art can draw attention to conversations about the act of cutting trees.
The significance of trees in urban settings and their management has been brought to attention.
