About 2 months ago my neighbour asked me the above question, I said yes okay it is a bit bushy so why not. Thinking he would trim
It.

He did it this week whilst I was at work

I work for an intensive care unit and our policy is for 14 nights you're on shift or on call and put in a hotel away from family as all
Our patients are the sickest of the sick with covid and yes despite what the media says there are a fair amount of covid patients with us and they're on ecmo so it's w really draining job and I don't have time to think about anything else when I'm there, it's 2 weeks on 3 weeks off

The tree was very bushy, I've been extremely busy the last year so gardening is at about a 0/10 on my priorities. It's now gone. All the leaves and branches have been taken off, it's just a sad ivy covered hump in the garden.

I asked him why he chopped it all down and he said he got carried away.

Can anyone recommend a nice fast growing tree that I can plant instead of it? Can you buy a mature magnolia? I really wanted one of those to commemorate my dad who passed recently and now this bushy tree is no more it needs replacing..

He very kindly has given us essentially all the tree in cuttings so the garden is full of branches. It didn't even impact their light or their garden as our gardens don't overlap so he went into our garden to chop this tree down .

I know I have permission for a trim but not for him to chop it down!!!

Ah! Just saw your username. So you wanted a trim for your tree but got a "Brazilian wax" instead.

But it's free so...you get what you don't pay for.Flowers 🌳
