hi all,

 

did a job for a firm last July, removed three large TPO'd limes out of a row to allow access.

Part of the planning approval was that the three limes are replaced, along with two others that had been removed for safety reasons years earlier.

 

got a call from the project manager today

"Hello Dave, as you did such a good job of removing the limes, can you give us a quote for replacing them."

 

Not a problem.........

 

"We require 5 No. tilia Europaea"

 

Again not a problem.......

 

"At least 15mts high"

 

FFS that made me spit my coffee out.

 

we've done 10mtr ones before, and they were a nightmare.

 

anyone know of any suppliers who MIGHT have anything that big, AND the equipment to shift em....

 

Thanks, Dave
