The Laburnum tree (which came pot-grown from the same friend) has been
in place several years. The circumference is 11", so about 4" diameter.
Moving it would be a huge job for me, but one I'm having to consider
all the same. I know this friend would be very upset if I lost the
tree,
so chopping it down isn't an option, but it puts increased pressure on
me

They're quite easy to root from cuttings, maybe it would solve the
problem if you potted up a few, then removed the larger tree once it was
clear they'd struck?





That's a thought. I think my friend will still be horrified, but as far
as I'm concerned it's an option. Thank you. I'll dicuss it with her
first.

Or move the pond.



Obviously, you haven't seen the foundations of this pond!;~). It is not
going anywhere. It will be where it is for all eternity.
