Hi,
we have a Sycamore tree in our fron garden which was there when we bought this property, and it is approximately 15ft away from the house and just taller than the chimney pots on the roof. I know I can't do anything about the distance, but I can about the height. We had it cut down to roofline level 2 years ago, but it has shot up since then and needs cut back again. What sort of acceptable height should it be? Thanks Bob H Leeds UK |

What sort of acceptable height should it be? -2'. It is not a suitable tree for that distance from a house, and probably had seeded itself. I would get rid of it completely, and plant something more suitable. Even coppiced, its root system will be extensive. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
