It’s not spring yet…still, I’m sure that my tree has finally had it. 😪

I just need some advice as to how to remove it without too much fuss. I’ve read that the root system can be quite shallow.

Can this be lifted out…or would it require stumping then grinding out?  Any idea of what the costs could be?  

 

The land along side this tree gets very waterlogged, any suggestion as to what to plant as a replacement? 

 

Also, any recommendations as to who could do this work locally at a reasonable price? ( Bury Lancs)

Thanks!

Provided there is room I think you could fell that in a " oner " with a rope around it and maybe a bottle jack . Cut it up once down , good fire wood in a stove ( spits a bit ) . some times hard to split if the heart wood grain has grown helical . Stump grinder in to finish off . If the ground is predominately wet then Alder or Willow will suit . Obviously depends on how big you want the tree to get . Maybe a Birch ?

Plant poplar and rhodies and hogweed if you’ve got kids

Thanks for your kind replies!  I'm hoping the bottle-jack method will work. 

 

When the trim was 'trimmed'  the wood was cut up into decent sizes for removing. I guess this was sold on to someone else to re-sell.  Does anyone know how much the wood is worth? 

 

Very funny the Hogweed suggestion!  😁

 

Thanks again for those who replied. 👌🙏

Nobody is making money on the wood.

Wood worthless. Facebook free firewood group might get people to take it.

Yes If you have any neigbours with a wood burner -  someone might come cut it for no cost for the  "free" logs but looks like it would need a decent sized saw so would be abit large for many such  people to tackle.

Financial ££ value might be low but a few chunks passed on for neighbours log burners might be worth a lot more in good will, and home made cake.

Wait till they try and split euc by hand. 
They’ll end up throwing it

through your window.

Especially if that center grain has gone helical . If its been dead for sometime it will be like concrete . Mechanical assistance advised .
