	knew how to fell trees on here. The actual tree is down but the stump is still in the ground with a big hole dug around it. We have tried a chainsaw, we have set it alight, and nothing will shift it, yet the trunk was fairly easy to cut through. If it were in the front garden we would have been able to chain it to a car and drive away a bit to loosen it, but as it is in the back garden that is out of the question. Does anyone have any ideas please. Dianne xx

	You can buy pellets that are inserted into the trunk and kill it down.

	My OH says that they used to bore holes in the stump and fill them with mix of SBK and paraffin, which will accelerate the rotting process. Jean

	You could try SBK Brushwood Killer which, I think but not sure, is a liquid. http://www.vitax.co.uk/productshome.asp?catalog=1002

	If you drill holes into it it will kill it off, but in the top bit and not the sides

	Permission to remove it ????? Que ???

	You can buy root killer that you spread on the cut bit of stump, and cover it with plastic to stop the rain washing it off. I've only used it on Buddleah and elder saplings, so not sure how long it takes on a full size tree. maggie

	You have to have permission from our local council to cut down any trees.................even the ones in your own garden.
Member Since: April 2005 Posts: 13,143 Send Message	eRRolSheep	Report	17 Jun 2008 19:21
	In certain, but not all, cases you do require planning consent to remove a tree.

	As for getting permission to fell trees. I'm in a quandary - how is a tree determined? About 15 years ago, I bought what the label called a dwarf Ceanthus. It is now about 12 ft high and 20 ft wide, is in the front garden - and is much admired in the neighbourhood. However it is essentialy a shrub albeit of a tree size, and is dying. Would I need permission to fell it? Every year I prune it (without permission), but am a little concerned that if I fell it I will be reported, as it will be missed. maggie
