Big fir tree beside 2 storey house and telegraph pole

That's a big un K...

I know, W...It's in the neighbour's garden. I worry about it in the wind! But the good thing is, in a storm it's likely to fall the other way! Hopefully!

Lets hope so...still, if it is healthy it should be fine....they are meant to be on mountain sides aren't they...and its plenty windy there.

Hope so, Karen...it's got plenty of broken limbs (all pointing in the 'right' direction)...if it came down the other way...no chez moi!

Bit scary for you then Karen.....lets hope it happens when you're in Africa if it's going to happen at all!

i would imagine the root system is immense, but i don't blame you for worrying...

I suspect that you are both right, KS and W...it must have been there for donkeys years! Probably it's too big to blow over...Storms tend to just take the tops off trees like this, I think?
But, like you J...there's that little nagging doubt...

Oh so that's the monster! Wow it IS big! have you asked them to trim it down at all?

Not yet, Pixi...we've only been in this house a year...so still feel too 'new'!

Get them telt hen!!!!!!!

He's a bit 'odd'!!! :)

heck - lovely and huge tree

Hmmm

It is, Paul!

At least the insurance companies pay out here... Especially after a storm!!

A beauty. Do birds sing from the top?

There are lots of 'lesser spotted' woodpeckers in that tree, M...! They don't sing...but they 'tap'!
