Fox Hollow, Hall Bank, Hartington SK17 0AT
we have an old apple tree in the front garden, see photo herewith. It doesn't produce many apples and when it does we can't get to them due to the previous owners having let the trunk and hence crown grow too high. The sloping lawn renders the use of ladders unsafe. Further such apples as do arrive tend to fall in the road (the tree overhangs) which doesn't make us too popular with car owners and passers bye. Would you object to us taking it down? We are intending to plant a number of new fruit trees in that area of the garden so there will be an overall level of environmental betterment.
