    If it falls to the north a neighbour won't have a garage left.

    If it falls to the east it will fall on a neighbouring house.

    If it falls to the west  it will fall on our house.

    If it falls to the south it will be falling uphill ... think that's unlikely image

    It's going to cost £500 to have it taken down, taken away and get the stump ground out.  It's a big tree image

    You sound quite attached to your tree Dove. It's a shame when a lovely feature like that has to go.

    Mine is very unattractive and thats why I thought I could cover it but it seems I would just be delaying the inevitable.

    I'm hoping to have some kind of woodlandy business in that part of the garden because the man who was here before "took notions" apparently and there are all sorts of raised bits and rotting wood and even the odd ladder!! It is,in fact, a shambles! I wasn't sure where to start but now I at least have a starting point!

    I've noticed all the ash trees up here have turned beautifully Dove. Very uniform. I passed a lovely row of them today - all greeny golden image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Our healthy ash tree is still dark green - the unhealthy one is more brown than yellow image

    I have a beech tree which has honey fungus infestation advice is to fell.

    do I have to clear the soil all the way to were the fungus appears, which

    is some distance away when I  replant.

    Very good

    Choose a variety which is known to be resistant to honey fungus and you should be ok.
