    I am often puzzled by modern life.

    I’m glad, if glad is the right word, to see that we are not alone in our confusion. :redface:

    Can mature ash trees be pruned/thinned?

    Interesting, thanks. But if it's on the boundary line itself and it falls and causes damage who is then responsible?
