Hi Guys
i have a plum tree bang in the centre of my garden that i want to get
rid off, as i am putting up some climbing frames for my kids. However i
am not sure how to remove the tree, its not very big, its about 18ft
tall max, and is thin, the thickest part of the tree is at the bottom
and measures 20 or so inches around, i was thinking about simply cutting
it down ( safely and do it so i can control where it falls lol) but not
sure what to do with the stump, or how much stump to leave? should i dig
the stump out or use one of the many stump removal products etc? because
the garden is used by my kids i want sure if the stump removal products
were safe etc, so would appreciate any help if possible

kind regards
Gra

I would suggest cutting the tree 3ft from the base. Wrap a chain
around the base and roots and use a truck to pull it out.
