Yeah I think I am thinking of past experience and throwing the odd wild growing seedling out. Baby steps :lol:
Ok there is at least one tree I know should go. I will stick it up for a day auction and if no one wants it by the end of the day it will go in the bin. Or maybe I should take it to the meeting on the weekend :palm:
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hi Brett, I saw some places in Japan where the bulk of the collection was on the roof.

Thanks VS but as far as I know that is frost damage, looks worst just before spring. Happens every year but as usual is lush, green and needs mowing once a week at the moment.

Hi Brett, so far this is the only suggestion that makes sense (from my more than slightly biased point of view).

Whack them.

Cheers,

By the way Bretts, was that a set of barbells i spied in one of the pictures :?: Are you using them to weigh branches down or are you secretly PUMPING IRON :whistle: Had a fair bit of weight on it :o 60kilo's i'd reckon, a tad rusty though :lol:
