old trees
I have some very large trees 100 foot on the street in front of my house, now although I like trees they are a pest each year by having too many leaves. the problems are as follows 1, block out light 2, make my car sticky 3, make a good roosting platform for pidgeons mucking the pavement. All I want to do is to stop the leaves growing back instead of killing the tree. As the tree is tarmaced right up to trhe trunk, I think it gets all its water from my garden so I have dug a hole in my garden about 6 foot from the trunk and I want to pour poison in it to feed into the roots. Somebody suggested salt but Im not sure. What is the best time of year to poison Whats best to use for poisoning Abraham |

Stop it producing leaves yet stillhave it live even though it has no leaves and cannot feed itself and will die? How will stopping the leave, stop the pigeons from perching on the branches? Once you have poisoned and killed the trees, make sure your insurance is up to date for when branches fall off and kill or injure people and for when the trees topple over and fall onto your house. Opps, you don't have a house do you? Trolls live underneath bridges. |

He has stopped doing it not because you decided to join in, but because he has been reported and is facing losing his account and plod are knocking on his door, a fate you risk suffering yourself by adding your name to the recipients list in your 'jape'...if you had stated it was a joke you may have got away with it too. |

Yes but if I alerted him to the fact that I had hijacked his post, it wouldn't have worked would it? How do you *know* plod is knocking on his door right now? |

ok, poisoning is a bit harsh but i still need to stop the sticky stuff
covering my car and windowz, you have 10 days to give me a reasonable answer or Ill kill It for sure. ( only kidding) Just out of Interest, if one wanted to poison the tree on the cheap what would be the besty method one would employ. Abraham "Tumbleweed" wrote in message ...

Abraham Firstly, I would suggest whether there is a tree preservation order on them ( as they are old!). Secondly you may need just to lop them back. Again you will need planning permission. Thirdly, are they actually yours ( in your garden etc.). You may not be able to do anything at all except live with them or move. |

Spit is much worse on pavements than bird droppings. All I want to do is to stop the leaves growing back instead of killing the tree. As the tree is tarmaced right up to trhe trunk, I think it gets all its water from my garden so I have dug a hole in my garden about 6 foot from the trunk and I want to pour poison in it to feed into the roots. Somebody suggested salt but Im not sure. If you really want it to be efficacious, I would recommend that it should be about 3 feet in diameter and around 3 feet deep. And keep it quite open until the tree is dead. What is the best time of year to poison Whats best to use for poisoning Why not ask somebody in the gardening/landscaping department of your local council? They should be able to answer those questions. Alternatively, why don't you move instead? You should be able to get a good price for your house with what sounds like lovely trees with active bird life around. Please let me have the telephone number of your local council so that, just in case you forget, I can let them know when you have done the poisoning. They appreciate being kept informed about tree poisoning activities. Franz |

I would ask the dept of envoironment, I am sure they will come round and
take a look at it for you. I here they have a lot of technical equipment and will be able to take some quite accurate soil samples away and provide you with a report very quickly, if you let them know what it is you wish to do. Good luck. John |

Thanks for all the negative and childish attitude on this group.
Rod, I dont understand your statement "more environment friendly than weeedkiller - wouldn't want to damage the environment would you" I hear this statement all the time but nobody seems to understang what It means, I think people repeat It to try and be a bit trendy. Tell me what exactly what would be damaged In the environment and why its such a big deal. are you one of the fools who are tricked into putting your refuse in seperate bins ( whats that all about. try to answer the questions with sensibly or you will have failed to convert me and you will be just as bad as me.....
