Have a flowering Cherry tree outside the house, frightened to turn the blowers on in the car at this time of year for fear of having a petal storm inside the car,
The sap gets all over the windows as well which is a pain when it rains coz they go nice and smeary

we had one of those trees in our back garden, i cut it down. it did look nice in the spring but when the blossom started to fall off it was a nightmare.

Poor tree. It's supposed to blossom. It's only a few petals and they soon get washed away by the rain. I'd leave it:D

If I could cut the thing down I would its a council tree and I'm thinking of sending them the bill for the wear and tear on the hoover from alays having to hoover the bloody stuff up

I'd cut those trees down as well, save me a load of work every year trying to get my trainset running to time again
(I know it doesnt work very often)

do you get the same problems with snow as well on your lines? Mines never worked.

Careful chopping down trees there may be a Tree Preservation order on it. Sometimes they can be automatically protected without your knowledge. I seem to recall that in some cases trees over 100mm diameter had some kind of protection?

No tree problem here just a cat using the car windscreen as a slide! Worse thing is its my own bleedin cat!

Its the price we pay to have boooooooteeful trees to look at...

I keep my bike under a cover so he's still tree-crapless... however my nice (I use the term loosely - its a renault boresmobile) silver car is an interesting greeny-silver these days. :lol:
