I have an (inherited) lush corkscrew willow in my small back garden, and the thing is as tall as our house. It's beautiful, but huge and roughly 12 feet from the house - and completely shadows next door's garden. I was hoping I could give it a good thinning come January and bring it down in size, but should I just admit defeat and remove what I assume is a full grown tree in a too small a garden?L'enfant bouffantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336147687567861416noreply@blogger.com
