Its an ash tree - I have loads of tiny ones in my garden. If you dont pull them up by the time they are only a few inches, you cant pull them up at all! You may get ideas of removal from other forum members, but I just keep pruning mine to keep it low. Good luck. Teresa
The best way to get rid of it, is cut it back to leave a stump about 6 inches, then drill a hole in the middle and put in a good squirt of the SBK brushwood killer, that will kill the roots. Then just dig out as much as possible. I have one thats about 12 feet tall that's grown through the lean-to greenhouse at the back of the garage over the road. Not looking forward to sawing that down (plus I'll need some help from OH to make sure it doesn't destroy next-doors fence).
At some point I'm going to have to do the same to a buddlia that's growing alongside the garage, sister-in-law objects to me digging it up before she's got a cutting as it's a plant her Mum put in, so she has a sentimental attachment to it, but can I get her to come & get a cutting?! Come September we'll be moving over there, and my Husband will go mad as it's starting to put a crack in the garage wall, so when he sees that, it will definitely get dug out, anything that threatens his RS2000 disposed of immediately.
