They are renowned for dropping large branches suddenly and without warning.

Unfortunately it had to go for safety reasons as well. It's always sad, but as you say, you can plant some beautiful new trees to grow with your family xx<br />Anna (My Design Ethos)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923254699323311906.post-80283549630664995762013-03-22T18:43:10.751+08:002013-03-22T18:43:10.751+08:00I watched the parliament thing unfold in horror as...I watched the parliament thing unfold in horror as was home with the sick one.

We currently have an amazing massive Ornamental Pear that was sadly planted too close to the house by the original owners and its also blocking our view - it pains me but we are going to have to cut it down. <br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!<br /><br />Mel xMel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923254699323311906.post-27728649469819280252013-03-21T18:22:47.806+08:002013-03-21T18:22:47.806+08:00Fiona - quite liked the "Save The Gum" p...Fiona - quite liked the "Save The Gum" poster myself!

Have the termites been eradicated at the same time? If not they will just move on to another tree. Did your building site get treated before construction?

Fingers crossed that either the GG dissolves parliament, or that someone crosses the floor and an election is called. Nothing is going to get done at this stage until after September otherwise....<br />On the garden front while it is sad to see trees go, you have to make things safe. We have a beautiful big tree in the backgarden.... one of the reasons why we bought our house, but we had to prune back almost 2/3rds of it due to rampant unchecked growth over the past 40 years or so. They kept the shape nicely, and it's already sprouting out in all directions, so its not all bad - your garden will recover. Exciting re the garden plans... love the Greens protesters in your house too! xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.com
