Getting rid of yew stumps - advice please
"david" wrote in message ...
Do you live in the country? If so, and if access is suitable, a tractor would pull them out with a chain, so long as the stump is long enough. JCB even better - the job becomes trivial. David "Judy Donovan" wrote in message ... Hi, We have just cut down a yew hedge and are left with a long row of stumps and roots - these are very sturdy so will take a bit of removing. Does anyone know anyway to make this easier? I was wondering about applying something to the stumps to try and kill them before trying to dig them up - would that make it easier? they're very secure in the ground at the moment and it will take some doing I think. [...] Sad, though. Of course the garden must be the way you want it, and it's good sense to treat garden trees as disposable, and relatively young yews aren't endangered; but I can't help reflecting that the oldest living tree in Europe may be an ancient yew in Scotland. I'd love to think a tree I planted might still be there in two or three thousand years' time. Mike. |
