Update is plan "A" was put to work yesterday, and the neighbours
brought their grandchildren up for a swim late afternoon. Within 3
minutes, they saw the problem and agreed to the trees to be
pruned.However not too sure how this could be done on a close planted
row of Lime trees which are 20 foot high.


We have a site where many trees are being cut back, felled and in
general being restored to a recreation area. A 20 ft high tree doesn't
present too much of a problem to a tree surgeon. We have then 'walking'
up the trunks, out on to a branch and cutting back and some of these are
50 ft high.

One row of trees we have taken out, now lets the sun into about a dozen
gardens and we are the best thing since sliced bread. One lady is a bit
upset, a Horse Chestnut keeps her house and garden in the shade all the
time, and there is a TPO on it :-(( "Why does everybody else's trees
come out except mine?" we are seeking advice and seeing if we can take
it out. She is not the only neighbour to express their concerns.

By the way, any Isle of Wight readers who want some logs and has their
own chain saw? We are felling about 20 trees, mostly split and rotten
through lack of care and pruning, yours for the taking. Contact me for
access and times. You will need a big trailer, make many journeys and
will need a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Holm Oak, Sycamore, Elm (Diseased), Pine, Willow, other, and possibly a
Horse Chestnut :-))
