But earlier you said:

No it's not a diseased tree, belongs to the council on council land and
needs to come out of it on health and safety to life, property and limb
grounds.


So which of your statements was the lie?


What teh F*** are you telking about?

Replacing a tree does not make the new one a health and safety problem!

Correct thank you.

The present tree which is becoming a danger to life, limb and property over
the ensuing years is a huge Horse Chestnut which has already been pollarded
but has grown again, as of course it would. The owner had a professional
report on this, and another tree, some 3 years ago and the HC was then
recommended for removal and replaced planting taking place. It has been
recommended that Silver Birches, further away from the HC, and possibly
underplanted where it goes alongside a public path are planted and the owner
is quite prepared to pay for this. A picture of how it would look, taken
from a copy of a photo of Silver Birches taken from Gertrude Jekyll's
garden at Munstead Wood, in 'Making Gardens' by Erica Hunningher had already
been sent to the council.

I hope that puts the picture straight for any tree huggers out there who
don't know what they are talking about but just jump on the band wagon.
