Tough job by tinley23

Tough job

While we were away we had a call from our neighbour to tell us that the wind had blown down our laburnum tree. Today we worked to get it out of the ground. It wasn’t huge but it had been in the ground for more than twenty years. We did eventually manage it with the help of a neighbour up the road. Unfortunately he’s in his 70s and fell flat on his back as the final root came loose. He said he’s ok but we’re a bit worried about him. We’ll check on him later.

We’re not having much luck with our front garden (a neighbour crashed into another of our trees in August).

i wish next door's dead laburnum would blow over in the gales! You have been unlucky with your trees, better luck with the replacement s
