well had a letter the other day from local electricity comp saying they would like to cut down the tree in my front yard as its starting to cause problems with the lines
this is a 90 ft tall norfolk pine took a lot of discussion with family and
friends before i decided to say yes mainly cause they are paying for all the work and will cover any damage done while removing it but as i am still not sure doing the right thing as it is a great tree and looks terrific and have always used it for directions etc , you know , yes its the hse in the st with the big pine tree and also throws a lot of shade as well
But it is a pain as well as the roots are lifting the driveway and also drops two million pine needles and pine cones each yr and i know taht some time in the future i will have to haVE it cut down but still think i will miss it when it is gone and it will be a big operation as the power has to be disconnected etc to do so
as its a very small front yard and the tree is right on the fence ( about a metre in ) but with only a couple of meters between it and the front of hse its really in the wrong spot
have ask them if i can get some of the timber from it as well and they are quite happy to let me take any i want
might also contact the local wood turners club and see if any of them want some as well but not sure its any good for that
