How come trees need council permission to cut down but not to plant them? I would have thought any tree that grew over 6 metres would need permission to plant due to it's invasive nature. Seems a bit stoopid to me.
I have 3 cocos palms in the front of my house. They drop branches, berries and frons all over the place. They keep the giant umbrella tree company.
My parents planted them 25 years ago and now they are monsters. I suppose it doesn't really matter as I don't observe out the front anyway.
If they were chopped down I would need the root system removed as well since I would replace them with something more suitable, like Pendas or a Lilly Pilly hedge.
But it's too late now. The trees are well on their way to orbit.
