Hi all, at the beginning of the summer in my line of sight i noticed a tree just starting to pop up :eek:, by now with the nice summer we have had it is getting bigger,

Today while out in the garden deciding where to put some new ferns I bought for the boarder the chap who's property the tree is in was cutting his hedge down, i have never had chance to speak to this neighbour before but i had to :D,

Just chatting away :D of what a nice summer we have had and how big his tree had grown, next year it will be above the house i said :eek:, no it wont he said we don't want it blocking the light into the conservatory :), i was getting round to that :D

Result :)

My parents' place needs their neighbour's tree chopping down as blocking quite a chunk of the arc for my Fibo :(

I've had to relocate several dishes a few times as the neighbour's trees and bushes along our southern border grow taller and taller each year. In the end we took out an oak tree from our garden to open up a new gap for 28E and the nearby satellites. Things just grow too damn fast.

..I too will have one of those in a year or two ..
almost due South luckilly so gives me a few years.
But grows about 8 inches a year by my estimation..
It's a Christmas tree some knob head planted in their garden ..
rear of a bungalow ...
Haven't get spoke to the owner ..
I keep putting it off ...but is inevitable..
Question is ..how will he react.

Sorry 'bout the poor photo ..
very sunny here atm

Deep in the Boonies in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
A nice freshly polished copper nail or two, driven into the base of the tree with take out that tree in a few months or more, it will look like it died a natural death.
One dark nights work.

Yes, it uses proprietary Xenforo Forum Software, as do a great many of the better Sites right now.

It looks a bit like an ash tree that Martin.A neighbour two doors away has a line of them.Every year the garden gets covered in seeds.It is a full time job pulling the seedlings up in spring.They grow like mad.
They are the reason that I cannot get past 45 West
