I am having this tree taken down in a couple of weeks, so taking pic as record. It has outgrown its space and blocks a lot of light. Looking forward to having a new fence and some climbing plants instead.

think it will make a big difference to the garden, they do get out of hand don't they, will look lovely with climbers.

Well neighbour and myself have been talking about it for the last two years, and finally decided it had to go. So we are going to plant clematis and maybe a rose. I am sad about the tree really, as the birds love to get in there, but there are others around.

It will be very nice once your tree has gone...lots of plans for climbers....roll on spring/summer then eh Cinders?

Thanks Whistonlass, yes its something to plan for isnt it. Only problem will be deciding which ones to have.

I know, I feel like that too. It was only a foot high when I planted it first, 23 years ago. but it is taking all the moisture from the ground to the detriment of everything else.

I know how you feel, some times it just has to be done, and I am sure you will be pleased with the result, might be a little bare to begin with, once you get the plants in though...there will be no stopping you.

I'm sure you are right Dotty.

They are giants - we have many conifers Leylandiis mainly that surround us - a neighbour had two loped on council land which used to overlook our garden.
