holly tree unlucky to fell?

[HARPO]

i'm felling a holly tomorrow and by all folklore accounts this is very unlucky, sure i have felled one in past but now conscious of it and concerned! any one had any ill effects?!

[MasterBlaster]

Grown adults shouldn't concern themselves with such nonsense. Just git er dun!

[Mac McLennan]

Dismantle it instead.....lol

[Dean Lofthouse]

Just pat your head and rub your tummy similtaneously whilst turning round 15 times shouting "I love Hollies" just before you fell.

 

That should ward off any evil spirits, plus the client will pay up the second you finish the job.

Never mind the folk law, just think of the lovely firewood:thumbup1:

[tree_beard]

if its big enough, and you can get the timber milled, it could be very lucrative:thumbup:

makes good wood for turning aswell. but I have heard a few horrific stories about stuff that has happened to people after they cut their 2nd Holly. Strange accidents exactly a week after and even wierder dissapearances hahahahaha, never heard such twaddle, it's YEW's that come with 30 years bad luck.

During our last Holly felling job , the groundie simply vanished into thin air and the truck wouldn't stop talking to me all the way home...

never heard anything about it being unlucky to fell holly... i have done loads and not probs to date... Yew on the other hand is supposed to be sacred.
