I hate the idea of a tree being in the wrong place, enjoyed for
years and then cut down.
I can never see why its any worse than taking a whole row of
trees and keeping them permanently pruned to a uniform 6 ft ;-)
But those are still living! And don't get me onto leylandii... ;-))
But being tortured! ;-)
So it's death or torture, eh? Tough choice!

Well, I inflict both on my trees :-)


But with torture there's always the chance they'll let you live! ;-)


But would you really want to?

Tough choice but yes, I'd take my chance, even if I were a leylandii! ;-))
