Tips to killing a tree
|
|
I need to get rid of a tree which is almost the height of a three story house and a stump of over half a metre diameter. Heard about copper nails as a possible but has anyone had success with this or other methods?

Get a tree surgeon in. You can kill it by ringing it but then the roots will rot and next strong winds your find it crashed through your roof!

So what do you think you will happen to it if you kill it? You'll just have a three story high dead tree in your garden.

I do sympathise with your predicament. Twice in my life i have had trouble with trees or herbaceous hrubs resulting in loss of life. They really can be formidable foes.
In the early 90's i got into a very serious dispute with an Acacia tree. Usual stuff, turf, birds, roots: both thought we was top boys / trees. It came to a head in the long mad summer of 1993. Threats had been put up and neither was backing down. I had a mob of conifers and a weeping willow come down and branch - thrash a few of my lot. Conkers was thrown at me mums windows.
Retaliation was swift when in a rage i flung some squirt about at the local garden centre - severely maiming some hanging baskets and a birch.
Look alls you need to know is im still here and that tree is now a fence and several boxes of matches.
Me other bout of horticulture aggro was with a right cuntish firm of radish & seasonal rhubarb, the infamous 'allotment lot' out of Pitsea.
A lot of people got hurt and some went outers but lets just say a lot of rhubsrb & custard pies was made that year.
Naughty times looking back.

Had a similar issue with a eucalyptus that I thought about taking down for a few years then had to, and with it a bigger problem
Have the bugger down and drive copper nails in the stump
One thing, if you do it yourself ask about first, there are two ways of doing it and one is very wrong and will end in tears - that tree is fucking heavy and much bigger down than up, stand on me for that
