Ash Tree

In our neighbours garden is a huge Ash tree just inside the dividing fence which covers our garden too. I don't mind it as its a lovely looking tree but what i do mind are the mini trees that are shooting up in our gardens borders, I'm assuming these are coming from the roots? Is there a way to suppress these or is it just a case of cutting them down? They range from 10inches up to about 4ft.

 

If its ash it will be the seed growing just dig them out

4ft high you have been having to many G&T and relaxing

Spruce (also a tree) :yess:

 

lol I wish! We only moved in last year, the previous owners weren't the most garden or house proud people!

Cut them down then or dig em out?

 

dig them out , if you cut them they will probably re shoot

Once you have sorted that out then you can have a bevy

Spruce

 

If you have any hedges or shrubs, keep an eye underneath them, because ash tree seedlings lurk underneath building up their strength, then make a sudden bolt for freedom and you'll wonder where on earth that great big ash came from all of a sudden.

 

Thats exactly whats happened! Moved the greenhouse and found about 4 new ones up to about 2ft hiding under the mad clematis at the bottom of the garden! Cheers :D
