Tree Share Scheme

[Dean Lofthouse]

Am I missing something or is there a Tree Share Scheme on the go ?

 

I took a Cherry down yesterday and noticed that the Clients neighbour had planted last years Xmas Tree in their garden next to the fence. It was doing well, new growth abundant.

 

Only problem is the tree is planted 18" from the fence so when it does get more mature, half is going to be in the neighbours garden.

 

Same at my house, the neighbour has planted a Cherry right upto my fence 3 years ago, it is now 15ft high and beginning to creep over onto my side and will when mature block out 2 hours of the morning sun.

 

Why didn't he plant the cherry so it was in the middle of his lawn, that way when it matures it will be all within his boundary, his lawn is about 20ft wide.

 

Aren't people inconsiderate, he could have asked me if I minded.

 

Looks like I'll have to get the Glyphos out

and will when mature block out 2 hours of the morning sun.

The clue is in how you spell Plan-ting, ie "Plan" where you are going to put it.

 

Thats why I haven't planted any in my garden

 

From my "limited" knowledge, I would say you wouldn't plant a Cherry Tree in a 20ft by 20ft garden.

You don't have to let trees grow to their full size, they can be cut down before then. I wouldn't worry about whats going to happen in ten years..

The point is, the neighbour doesn't have a say.

 

The trees are effectively forced upon the neighbour.

 

Fair enough if you buy a house with trees you know what you are buying. But for someone to share their Xmas tree with you when you don't want to is wrong.

 

I think this has been mentioned before, that their should be some sort of LA guidence on appropriate / inappropriate planting of trees.

 

How many Gum trees have we seen where it has been bought from B@Q because it is a nice little tree, to outgrow it's planting position in a short period of time, with the tree owner saying, well I didn't know it grew so big so fast.

I would decide to dig a pond right next to the tree then, after you've servered plenty of roots and spilt a bit of round-up on em, think it was a bad idea and fill it in again
