Dear All,
We agree with many comments and also feel that we would not like a tree on
the verge outside the house. We love the light and the feeling of space
outside.
Best wishes
Amanda and Dermot

Again, thanks for the suggestion, Gordon, but I'd hate to see our grass
verges go, stones or no stones. Also, I guess we'd then have the
additional problem of leaf clearing in the autumn and we seem to have
plenty leaves to clear in our gardens from all the trees behind the house.
Also, maintaining the grass in between trees would be an additional
headache.

Why not dwarfing stock fruit trees? Apples and Cherries? I had some
wonderful cherries last week from a tree in Sheffield.
There are also plenty of dwarf ornamental trees. By 'dwarf' I mean no
more than, say, fifteen feet high. We can pick and choose.

Hi
I have the only tree on the verge and it is mature but it is suffering
greatly with branches being broken by lorries and skip lorries. It also
makes it dark in my front room . So beware of what you wish for ! Saplings
would be lovely but they grow.

Subject: [eccotalk] Planting trees
HI,
I think I remember a while ago someone on this group saying that there
was some money to be spent on something local. If any money is still
available what about using it to buy some young trees to be planted on the
grass verges on Endcliffe Glen Road?
There is an issue with cars taking short cuts down this road, causing
blockages that result in cars annoyingly driving onto the grass verges. In
several places people have put rocks, sticks and piles of wood. If trees
were planted one of the many benefits could be stopping people driving on
the verge.
Any thoughts?
Clare
