Hi all. I've been trawling through endless ident books and need your help.

I'm a Landscape Gardener and have a client with this tree in their garden.

They moved in 15 years ago and the tree was already in. We want to remove it in order to re do their garden. They were told, when they moved in that if they removed the tree it was possible that the rotting of the roots could cause subsidence to the neighbours house. They were also told that if it was hard pruned every year this would reduce the amount of root growth as it would concentrate all it it's energy on re-shooting. Sounds like a load of codswallop. But I'm not an expert.

 

Our argument is that surely if the tree was left then this in itself could cause damage to the structural integrity of the house.

 

Firstly, What are your thoughts on this matter and secondly is it a Wing Nut tree. PTEROCARYA fraxinifolia.

 

Any help on this would be much appreciated

 

Thanks

richy
