DIFFLOCK - I catch your vibe! Thanks for that!!!! Not really covering the questions I asked, or the advice I was hoping to obtain. But thanks for trying. Oh, and not overly concerned about hiding PAEDOPHILES!!

I will try and establish the age of the tree and post my findings

I'm the new owner, one month at the house. House as built 1989, but I don't believe the tree(s) were here until after the house was built.

Hi I have identified a Goat willow which is situated 3m from the corner of my house. It is on council land adjoining my property, with my brick wall boundary between the two. The tree is as tall as the house and many branches are over hanging my roof and causing various issues with my guttering. My bigger concern is the fact the tree is so close to my house and its a willow. The house was build in 1989 and the trees(many of in the area) planted around the same time. The borough council has a strict policy on their trees, and even if I could get it removed, would this be a smart thing to do? Heave is a potential problem and I think the soil in this area is clay. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
