• Adding to the recent tree chat, we've got this massive cedar(?) at the back of our smallish garden. Photo taken from loft window to give an idea of size.

    Can anyone advise how much it is possible to trim/tame something of this size? I'd hate to get it cut down, but it overhangs both gardens either side of ours and must drive the neighbours mad with the constant needle dropping. It makes half our garden more or less unusable due to the shade, bird shit, and dropped needles and cones.

  • Don't want to sound like I'm having a go, but I feel really sorry for your neighbours. Honestly, it's not cool to have trees encroaching like that.

    It's always a shame to cut down nice trees, but you should probably have a think about whether you have the time/ability/ resources/etc. to maintain them. If not then it would be best to remove them.

  • Fair point, it would annoy me too. We've only been in the house 18 months and had other priorities to sort out before tackling this. Hopefully later this year we'll be in a position to do so
