Irish footpath vs beech tree

[growforest]

It’s 100 years old and destined to be axed, but now Belfast residents have vowed to save majestic beech tree - Environment, News - Belfasttelegraph.co.uk

That google street view is amazing! as for the tree, I cannot really see a future for it where it is;

It makes me laugh when they put 100 yrs old, because that is a big number. 50 or 60 I reckon

The Google street view is kinda cool

Is that Belfast's oldest beech tree? Hahaha. Love it. As it's council i'm guessing cctm will have this pr disaster to deal with. Wild craic!

I,d reckon it,s closer to 100 than 50-60. Might even be older. I,ll see if I can count the rings later on in the week when it dissappears:001_rolleyes:

 

We dropped a similar size ash 3weeks ago further up the road which was just over 160 years old. Nice burning:thumbup1:

No, we're just a we firm compared to those guys. We have a few sites on the Antrim Road so I'll keep an eye on it. Just hope they don't stump grind it as soon as they drop it. Do you work local?

[AlvinD]

Kind of local work both sides of the border
