oh dear no good news from anyone?

Cut it down, kill the roots by drilling holes in the stump & filling with creosote. Then plant some more to replace the one lost :y
or get one of these to play with. :)

Ive just sent an email to my local council asking them 'politely' to rather get rid of the trees behind my house....as the trees havent been pruned in about 20 yrs....and put my entire garden in the shade come about 3pm in the summer months......wonder if it will work  :question ::) ::)  

Just got an automated reply back.....saying....we will look into this urgently  ;D ::) ::)

If they overhang your land you can prune them, but you must throw any cuttings over the fence to the tree owner :y

They aint little trees  ;D I would need the longest step ladder ever made just reach the first branch  ;D I was told by a neighbour.....he can remember the trees being pruned by the council about 20 yrs ago....apparently he told me.....one branch they cut off went straight through the roof of his garden shed....council ended up rebuilding his shed  ;D ::)
