We have a pair of Cupressus planted in our side lane by the previous
owners of the house. Clearly, the trees were meant to be about a metre
tall, since the passageway is only about six feet wide! After more than
fifteen years, the trees are now about three metres tall, thickening
dismayingly and have already been disfigured by pruning to allow people
to fit down the lane.

The question is: can a 3m Cupressus be transplanted happily? If not,
then will they survive severe annual pruning? It's a shame, since the
trees are quite attractive: it's just that they were put in a really
silly spot in the first place.

NB. Of course, we should have thought of their future years ago, but
they didn't seem to grow much for years and years. Last year, they took
off like a pair of rockets! =:-0
