It has been advised to me, to kill my very big Tree...


Today, a man from the building rental company did some garden inspection..
Or so he told me......

Telling me, that such a big tree is just too big for a garden like this..
So, my larch has to go???

Across the street is an other house with a very tall, big tree...
He told me, he told them too, the tree had to go!

It are older trees that do the works for nature,
Not small trees, who are not yet one year or so
Only after some year those tree get the polution out the air and give back oxigen.

I dont know what to do.
I think i am going to ask the people living across the street, if he told them, too,
their tree has to go!
That one is even close by the house, mine is just standing in the middle of my garden.
Not harming anyone.

Sure, the branches hang all over the fence, they are soo high, you need a special ladder to cut them.
SO?
What is the problem!

Yeah, trees give shadow, Yes, duh
In these times witn more heat an more heat in th summer, everyone should be happy with the shade such tree provides...

Vinegar pissing sour folks!

I will check with those neighbours, first thing, after the weekend
And then i will decide what i will do.

When i do cut it down, it also gives me new opportunities to arrange the garden in an other way...?
So?
It hurt me, to have to kill this tree, i got it from a former neighbour when it was just 5 centimeters...
it is in a way my baby....

This company is advertising about how concerned they are with nature, and that trees are very important and that people are not allowed to have just a stone garden, without any shrubs....
Or so they say..... bleagh....

Maybe you can just prune it back to inside the fence line.
Quite possible, neighbors complained about the leaves falling into their yard.

always hate to have to take down trees. Sometimes windstorms make them dangerous

I had two beautiful Queen palms but there came a time that they just got too big and had to be cut down. I was sad but now don't have to worry about finding a tree trimmer and my courtyard was completely re-arranged.......there are some benefits.

At the very least, get a second or even third opinion from a different company and area.

Just read in Smithsonian about a study that established not until a tree is about 50 years old does it begin to have an impact on the carbon monoxide level.
I’d check if pruning the tree could save it. Like you I’m a tree lover.

I think I would ask for another opinion in case this guy is just creating work

I doubt that resistance
would be a position new
to you. I know that
you would much rather
lose the tree fighting to
save it, than just give in.
So good luck in your fight!

being a master gardener & landscape designer I’m not familiar w a Larch tree l know your climate planting zone is lower then ours in states...if it’s a hardwood w deep root system looks healthy w no desease or rot then leave it be (but do pay a tree company to limb it up thou!) you’re right the shade of a lg tree will cool a house reduce energy costs vs a small tree that gives no beneficial shade for many years & raises energy cost!
we’re soo far above atmospheric CO2 levels that it’d take billions & billions of trees planted globally then grow mature enuff to reduce the CO2 levels by then we’re bloody hell well fooked...it’s all a scheme to make money pillage plunder pollute Mother Nature for their gain cuz when their rich & dead they don’t care they lived large & were in charge...oblivious to fact of ruining it for those that follow by accelerating global warming & onslaught of another ice age!

bdsmDOMdaddy,
The larch is poisonous, does not have any enemy
Can grow real large, big!
Dont lose limbs/ branches, so easily. are very sturdy.....
In autumn and winter times they lose their needles, and in spring they come back on, again.
It is a needle leaved tree.
Myabe i just cut the top out of it...? and cut the branches back which are hanging over the fence.. although they are soo high, nobody in his/ her rlght mind can say, they are in the way!
BUT, you know? vinegar pissing folks......
I will get some second oppionon about this tree."
i will ask Andre, who is my garden man.

rondiri,
My neighbours "complain" about everything, when they feel like it.
They are a regular pain in the ass.
While her garden is looking like shit, complaining about my garden.
They just have nothing else to do, in their lifes, to try and make other peoples life misserable too.

I might prune some branches..

boh.
I too, dont like to kill trees.
This kind of tree is very strong, you almost never hear about damage by windstom, with this type or tree.

That was what i was thinking too, although it saddens me to have to kill this tree...
It makes a opportunity for new garden plans.
..
Also, when i am leaving this place, i have to leave my garden in "good order" what ever that may mean... To the fancy of the building rental company...

jemmy
I will,
ALthough he told me, the works will be on me, or i will get the bill...

If i dont do it myself.. but then they are going to kill my whole garden!
Because they have no idea about ecological balanse, they only see weed!
And dont see the natural structure...

hardtop4you,
Hahahah, you might be right about that?! LOL
But, then again, when i am moving out, i have to leave the garden in a way socalled "normal" people are willing to accept it.....
It is a bit of dilemma...
They want a straight path, and border with plants, not my wild, wild garden, were you can eat all kind of herbs, oh pardon, weeds!
Weeds need to be distroyed!
Even when they are medicinal and can help your health... Pffff....

Yes, it saddens me, the thought alone...
I will check with neighbours who also have very large trees in their garden, see if that guy "advised" them too, to cut it down.

Then i will go to my garden centre and ask André, my garden man, about this...
And then, i might make a decision, or not...
It is a fact, that by the time i leave Holland, i have to leave my garden in a sort of 'decent' state... behind, for the next tenant...

It is now wild, without a clear path, no bricks.. grass, wild herbs...

rosaenaluin, kajira is so sorry to hear this. Trees are so beautiful and good for all life forms. We as humans enjoy the shade they give us, but for the birds it is their home and all the insects that enjoy its protection. Some people just don't appreciate the benefits. If you do indeed need to have it cut down, please except this big warm hug, I know it will hurt after it is gone, like a good friend, smiles.

colleen_Hof_A,

Thank you, for your kind words.

I still have to decide if i will kill it, or not.. ( i dont want to!)
It will be so empty in my garden.
Like you said, the loss of a good friend,..

hardom,
Thanks for the advice.

Well, i think, i can manage this tree myself, i did that before.
Just be wise and think, before you climb into that tree...

Think every step through and through, before you dó anything....
step by step...

down here in aus if a tree goes over a certain girth its automatically protected by law maybe see what the law is in your area if its not sick then just prune it back

Everythingsup,

Oh! what a good advice!
i know trees with a girth about 25 centimeters, are not allowed to be cut down, unless you ask the local government for a permit to cut it...
You have to have a very good reason for wanting to kill it.
