overgrown trees

Hi

I have some very overgrown trees in my garden, a cherry, an oak and a horse chestnut! The oak and cherry have all their growth on one side and have grown horizontally leaving most of the garden in complete shade. I'd love to get a tree surgeon in, but really can;t afford it.

Do any of you know of any charities or horticultural colleges that do Tree Surgeon courses, that might be peased to have somewhere to practice? I'm based in London.

    Have you looked in the obvious places like the yellow pages? You may struggle a bit at this time of year as the colleges etc will be shut.

    Whoever you get, you need to make sure they're properly insured for damage, third party injury, doing a proper job. How big are these trees?
