Removing ferns and recovering space
"Ravi" wrote in message om... There are three ferns in my backyard, each over seven feet tall. I don't know the specific variety. These were planted by the previous owner along the fenceline with the adjacent properties. I would like to replace them with another set of plants or trees. Is it possible to remove and recover space from plants that size? The trunks are large and I am assuming that the root system must be quite extensive. Just chopping them down would leave substantial stumps and doesn't make the soil usable for anything else. I agree that you might learn to live with them. I think there is a drive by people to erase everything "the previous homeowner" did, from the color of the walls to the makeup of the landscape. I have seen people move in around me who have removed wonderful plants only to put in some deadly common, inappropriately sited plant from Wal-Mart that didn't survive the summer. Then they get discouraged or lose interest and move on to the next project leaving the landscape worse for their time and effort. |
