Not sure where to post this but if its in the wrong place please move it thanks Anyways , i have a beech tree to remove , the customer wants me to poison the roots as he is afriad they will cause problems , personaly i would rather not do this if theres is a possibliltiy its going to effect the surrounding area. There are 2 vegtable patchs within 3metres and a conifer hedge that surrrounds the borders. The stump will be approx 40cm across , ive quickly read about driling or making sink cuts around the stump the pouring in glysopate ???????? ive got a feeling if i do poison the roots it could all go wrong down the line and id rather have both sides of the coin when i advise the punter any adive would be greatfully recieved.. cheers

i could be wrong but if you cary out any pruing work within 9metres of utiltiys or 15metres if your felling you must imform the electric distributers in that area ??????? . and without being a tool im sure that connys a catigoryA tree with a ABC cable (ariel bundled cable) - insulated mabe but never treat as insulated. to the left u can see tele wires in the foreground you could direction rope the top and top it out (few tops like) , be it on your own head, it may no be a 3phase stacked lv cabe but you could still cause a little damage if 'insulasion' is worn. i had a friend who couldnt wait for me to do his tree and he did most himself until a huge branch he was on snapped onto an abc cable - if it was anything else he could have been toast , what a turkey
