Had to fell a tree or two
We applied for planning permission to cut back some trees, Most of the trees we have have PTO's. During the council visit we mentioned two trees that were not in good health, just in case we had to take the down in years to come. We were told to take them down.
Here are a couple of pictures of the felled trunk of one of them. Not much wood for burning macafee2 |

Cut them into 6" - 12" slices, put a base on them and sell them as decorative plant holders.
Regards Mike

We had a couple of site that were rotted in the middle but they were nowhere near that bad.

In the same way that a chimney remains standing despite having very thin walls. It's explained by the second moment of inertia of a structure. The resistance to bending is provided primarily by the outer layer and the inner solid is effectively dead wood - in your case literally. |

The tree in the picture will be replaced with a Sweet Chestnut. A Sweet chestnut is about £35 - £40, hope it fruits well so we have chestnuts for Christmas but it may take 3-4 years before it fruits
Trees at the front that run along the side of the road may be replaced with Limes. As they all have TPO's we have to replace them but not like for like. If we plant Lime trees they too may become diseased and have to come down. We have to plant new trees by the end of the new growing season so that will be next year. macafee2 |
