Across the whole garden, there were 6 or 7 sycamores, most of which had grown in a fairly uncontrolled way over many years. There was just one in the Top Garden, adjacent to the boundary between Top and Bottom Gardens.
This had been a much larger tree, and had clearly previously been chopped down, with a 12" diameter trunk remaining. Subsequently a sucker had grown out from that trunk and become a substantial 10" diameter tree in it's own right. It was about 30 feet tall I guess.
It looks fairly innocuous in the photo below during winter, but cast an enormous shade over both my garden and my neighbour's when it was in leaf, so I decided it needed to come down.
Good mate Phil soon had it down and cut up into 2 foot lengths on the ground. There is probably a good few months of wood for the log burners in there that has been added to the seasoning pile in the Bottom Garden.
