Cherry Tree lopped in June
I have a twenty five year old cherry tree at the bottom of the garden, (at a guess 25-30 feet high)and up until now, unbeknown me has now started to obstruct light reaching our neighbours garden. A few months back our neighbour eventually came round and mentioned it, and he was talking to a friend whom said the best time to do trimming work on the tree would be in the autumn. So we both agreed on that & left it. However, last week I was tidying up the hedge and various bits of the garden, when a bloke popped round asking if I wanted any gardening services doing, and remarked that my cherry tree needing trimming (Lopping) and would do this for a £120. I asked him if he was sure he could do this at this stage of the year, so having no ill affect on the tree. He told me that this would have no affect on the tree, so thinking that my neighbour would benefit some light this summer, agreed for him to do so. Must admit, garden looks much lighter now, however people including my other next-door neighbour have now told me that I could have done long-term damage to the tree, leaving it open to infection, maybe killing the tree. (This Chap did say he had treated the areas that had been lopped) I feel rather stupid, but more worried about the long term affects of the tree. Will try & post a link to the tree later. Sid |
