I know the copper beech which the church next door planted 8ft from our
house may have to go eventually, but meanwhile I am happy to see it
there and to get enjoyment from it. I'm not going to lose sleep because
it won't make it to maturity.
Weep! Of all things a copper beech - one of the most glorious things known
to mankind! BTW, does the church know this tree is not going to reach
maturity?
I presume so - they've pruned it back a bit this year because the
branches were crashing against our roof. Made a good job of it - it
still has a nice balanced shape.
Uhuh. Pruning it back a bit does not sound to me like people who have
accepted the eventual demise of a forest size tree as a next door neighbour.
It sounds to me like people who are going to hold onto that tree come hell
or high water. ;-)
They've taken it back quite a bit and thinned it out quite a lot. As I
said, the company has done a good job and won't have been cheap. And
this was without any fuss, within two weeks of our pointing out the
problem.
