It is. These leylands were planted 20 years ago, five feet a part. Now look at them. You’d never plant them here now. They’re protected from the wind by the house so I think I got lucky. Only thing I did right was fertilizer spikes. Did those religiously.
I got this old paper birch. I call her Hazel. She needs some trimming up. The trunks are solid but some branches need to come down.
Nice! That leylands next to someone else’s garage. So it goes lol.
Oh good. Not your problem. Until it’s in your yard. Free firewood.
I love Hazel. I’ve never seen. Paper birch this big.
I need some kit to do it. A pole saw with a chain. I have a ladder and helmet. May need a belt. And a spotter. I need someone to hang out incase of a mishap.
I’ve got a DeWalt pole saw that would do it. One of my favorite tools. One attachment is the saw and the other is a bush edger that bends.
Oh snap! That makes me want to invest in one. I’ll check it out. Thank you!
I only know of ones you can’t detach for hand held chores.
They probably aid in protecting your house in the wind as well. But yeah. Maybe to close to a foundation.
