- difficult to get it to fall the direction I wanted - fortunately my
neighbour was just as keen to see them felled as I and didn;t mind it
landing in his garden (nothing would grow near the damend things

Oh! There's a large rose and a gooseberry bush (which fruits) within two
feet of the trunk of ours, I grow rhubarb, potatoes and redcurrants only
another yard away.

We used a bow saw too.
