Bay Tree..................................that was a good way to spend the day. Sawing down and getting shot of the Bay Tree that I planted 14 years ago in the back garden .
I had no idea that it would get as big as it had , nor that it would be so gloomy and cut out such a lot of light.
I'm looking forward to remodelling the area of the garden that suddenly looks so light and airy .
Roll on the Spring time .

well done hun xxx

Thanks Stray .....it was bloomin hard work ....and I wasn't doing the sawing.....lol.....just the stuffing it into the car to take it up the dump.....lol

Bet you smelled lovely when you'd finished though:))

Oooerrr Amanda I want our garden doing in the spring but it ant for me I get my sister I'll tell her the colours I want she will advise and design...

i recently had two very large trees felled i was quoted £150 each

but some bloke knocked on the door said
he would do do it for £100 for both

and he took the mess away

Uggers....I must admit the car smelt better than usual , stuffed full of Bay...it normally smells of fags.......lol

Hayley......I fancy myself a bit as a garden designer...but then 14 years later I realise I made a big mistake and re-design it all............lol

Sounds like you got a bargin there Joy : ))

How do bay trees survive your climate over there?

xxxxx mick

The answer to that Mick is with remarkable vigor ! lol

they dont grow well up here

mind benson did cock his leg on mine

Well I am in balmy Norfolk..........perhaps 'Op North it's that bit colder ?
Plently of dogs peeing in my garden ...........lol

Oh Amanda how could you do that! You know that trees have feelings and feel pain....oh poor bay tree:-)) lol BCXX

Please don't send me on a guilt trip BC............I had managed to block it from my mind..........and anyway at least the deed was done in the depths of winter , so I'm sure it didn't feel a thing............( looks worriedly over shoulder in case the King of the Bay trees is loitering near by )

I have one in a tub which stops it growing too much. No problem with growing them so far Mick, might be different after this winter though.

Haha Amanda...the King of the Bay Trees is coming to GET YA!!! pmsl BCXX

He will be chasing me through my dreams now........rustling with anger and shaking his twigs at me............LOL

Well- I was going to put in a bay tree a few years back, but thought it would be too cold for it here! lol!

I shouldnt have worried hey?

xxxxxx mick

They're hardy bu**ers Mick.

My Bay tree is out of control - about 12 ft high and 6 ft wide!
I'll chop it down in the spring - and create a lovely log pile for next winter!
