Has anyone tried removing a phormium? Which is the best way?
How deeply rooted are they?
My daughter has 2 phormiums in her garden which have outgrown their
space. She wants to get rid of them.
Even trying to get a fork in is difficult, so digging them out seems
impossible. She is considering an axe!

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.


I hear that Blaster Bates will come out of retirement for an
appropriate fee.

Very soft and sappy. The course saw is the answer, even on the roots

Been there, done that :-))
