Let's hope the council don't put a preservation order on such a distinguished specimen! They did so on a 60 ft eucalyptus a few yards from our house. It's going to fall on somebody one day but, as long as we don't get south easterly gales, it won't be us. I hope they do. Then it'll be their responsibility if it knocks the wall into the road!

Its a big bugger with four 2ft plus dia trunks three times the height of the house, and of course only three feet from a busy road! I'm waiting with anticipation for the first quote to come through. Any thoughts on a ballpark figure? I'm struggling to find anyone else interested in taking on the job so my usual three quote rule for a big job may have to me bypassed! 15+ years ago I paid £300 to have a huge beech taken down (trunk diameter 3 ft ) most of which which overhung the cottage. It took a couple of days and involved a lot of high work/ skilful roping to control the drops of high branches. The job was done by professional insured forestry workers and included grinding the stump and chipping the brash (the big stuff we saved for the woodstove). 10 years ago I paid another £300 to have a different professional insured forester working alone take down and remove all debris from nine cupressus all taller than this house, each of which was almost 2ft diameter at the base. Our tree fellers all worked for the Forestry Commission; if you have any local FC it might be worth asking the management office. Janet. What about Shaun, Paddy and Mick? they're "tree fellers". No good. They wanted to charge Dirty tree and a turd % extra... Mike |
