Can't believe it'll work, but here goes!!
100 year old, 40' Bramley succumbed to Honey Fungus - fell across back door at night preventing exit to work in the morning dark - can't live without shade - grit teeth - lotsamoney - Norway Maple - buy big - and the rest is why we chose it.
Any complaints, please let me know!!

Yes it worked, Tim. :) What a beeooootiful tree. Worth every penny.
Made a lovely slide show Tim! A stunning specimen indeed. How long ago was it planted?
That is a very big tree,love maples especcialy japenese ones
Glad it worked. 9 years ago, Emma. But it grew very quickly to a useful size.
For the money conscious - £460 (at 18') + £30 delivery + £50 underground guying, rather than staking.
But still WELL worth it!
Wow, a lot of money 9 years ago! Dread to think what a tree of that stature would cost now. However, a good investment as it looks fab and obviously does the job.
well worth it indeed t :)
This is the latest stage - when the lawn is covered with seed pods.
The final stage will be the colouring leaves.
Cant wait to see the autumn colour Tim. Magnificent tree.
You don't have to Mimi - I'm cheating - can't do better than last year??
