    Hello all,
    We moved house to the Forest of Dean back in December and there is a large 10ft tall holly tree in the garden that we are looking to sell.
    Our plans for changes to the garden don't include the holly tree, but I don't want to just cut down something this well established without first seeing if someone is interested in buying it.

    I think it's an argentea marginata variety, but I'm not an expert. From a quick google search I think it's worth about £100, but would be open to offers, especially as the buyer would need to get it out of the ground... :thud:

    I think you would struggle to move that successfully.
    Maybe try on the local page of face book, but I wouldn't want to buy it,, maybe remove it for free.

      A tree spade would do it no problem, but might make a bit of a mess of the garden

          Think how useful it would be for the birds before you get rid of it.

          Probably easier to change your plans for the garden, than to rehome the holly.
