Cherry tree control
16 years ago I recklessly planted a cherry tree in the garden when my
daughter was born. We like the tree but its a tad tall now About 30' in fact. And only 20 foot away from the house The intention was to keep it small but its been a busy 16 years.... I don't really want to cut it down so I was wondering what I can do in the way of reducing its height. It has never produced cherries just clusters of very small green-white flowers each year. Advice, ridicule and taunting welcome. Thank you. -- Mark Roberts |

Last year I got a tree man to reduce it to about 15 foot high. We had an extension to the house built a few years ago. The chap who dug the foundations chopped the tree roots at the same time. There are lots of suckers from the tree that need to be pulled up very frequently. Steve -- Neural Planner Software Ltd www.NPSL1.com |
