when i brought my house in 93 ( yes still there) there were 15 laylandi ( however you spell it) in the back garden all 20ft plus
it took me weeks cutting them back bit at a time all the waste had to go into a wheely bin ! finally when I was nearly finish all down to 6ft high and the roots dug round I had a load of plaster board delivery craned over the back fence slipped the bloke a tenner and he pulled all the stumps out for me ! easy ! I dont know what you lot are making all the fuss about dont work harder work smarter !
