Well if we didn't have 'introduced weeds' we'd have a very limited pallette of tree species. And if you took out the shrubs from the lists of native trees we'd be even worse off. And if we also took out the oddities, e.g. weird sorbus species, hybrids etc, there'd be even fewer.

Would you be "Spazzing out" over a 150 year old Leylandii ?

 

Same flucking family.

 

Now put your apron back on and make me a Burger.

Easy fella...we all have our different opinions on such assholes riding roughshod over planing and in our case people taking the piss when a tree has a TPO on it...it was put on for a reason Weather it’s a big weed(Redwood) Or a Mature Oak...the asshole should not have done what he did..that is the whole point.

Bloody shame. Usual developer thing to calculate the likely fine over the benefit of removing it. The article also shows there seems to be doubt over whether there was a TPO in place.

Monuments trees really, nice to see - not so nice to climb. K
