If I was as big and strong as you, I probably could do that

, but it is 10 metres in diameter (the spread) and too big for me. Good question though.

well i am fairly big and strong but you can move fairly big trees just need the machines to do it (14 ton digger)which i have on the farm it would proberly cost alot of money but just thought if they get permission to cut it down you could dig it up and move it if it is such a fine tree.

A better way is to stop the development by opposing the application.

Yeah Bruce, we've had so much success, haven't we?

Sorry to be cynical but it's true.

Puddy, what about The Rainbow Site?
Just because some planners push through developments we don't want, why should we not continue to try?

That is defeatist and not at all like you.

Sounds good then put it somewhere for all to see, how about the liveability at Eastoke or would it die?

I suspect that a Maytree would not appreciate the wind and salt laden air.

just out of interest, is Maytree the actual proper name for this type of tree, or is it a colloquial name? i've never heard of this type of tree before.

thanks.

The Hawthorn Tree - Queen Of The May

Apposite name. Crataegus mongyna

There is no such thing as a Maytree, they are Hawthorn Whitethorn, Haegthorn.
aka. Known as the "faerie tree"
