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 use a mattock but if you work from the edge in they are quite easy to
deal with piece meal

Thanks Charlie. I'll report later in year!

Why not show us pictures, or even videos, of before during and after. Even
having a go with a course sharp saw which will halve the time :-))))))
