    After too many years we decided to get rid off a conifer we didn't like from the front of Chez HarryS . Due to its phallic shape it had many vulgar nicknames from friends and family ! :biggrin: The tree surgeon got to work and soon skilfully dropped the tree onto the drive. Then took another 20 minutes for them to hack it up to get it onto the truck . An amazing amount of wood came from the tree . Very hot work on a day like today , so I slipped them an extra £10 to go and get a nice cold beer :dbgrtmb: It was the last job of the day, as San Miguel and powerful chain saws really do not mix very well .

    Its final Day !

          I never hear warnings not to cut trees/hedgerows in nesting season - I'm going to email RSPB ...

          Plants and trellis - Can it climb down instead of going up?
