I suspect the OP's pleasure in having that tree
may well be ruined altogether. I'd almost rather get a TPO on it, go
out for the day and let it be felled completely, or have it turned into
a large stump up which they grow climbers.


For those who don't know what a TPO is :

A Tree Preservation Order will BAN a live healthy tree from being
felled, and owners who disobey a TPO on their tree would face a gigantic
fine for felling or damaging it.

From a VERY experienced Chappy whose business if felling/pruning trees .....

............... ""ABOUT"" £3000.00 .................

in HIS EXPERIENCE..

others will of course have other stories won't they?
