    If it's in a good spot with a 1 to 2ft radius  space around it, keep it. If not, pull it out.

    Sorry about old money, but I'm reasonably old!

    I woiuld never get rid of a teasel. They are great and add structure to a garden plus the goldfinches love the seed heads image

    If it's a teasel that's what will happen. Can't guarantee the birds though
