Andymr Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Our beautiful huge willow tree was felled by the storm last night..... right on top of our car as it happens. Question, does anyone need a n ew cricket bat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 A veritable Womping Willow. I bet that tree never did like that car. :-)You might be surprised to see how quickly the tree regenerates from the stump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre ZFP Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's a nice idea but I believe that 'Cricket Bat Willow' is a different type of tree and that they are all clones, being propergated by hammering a largish branch into some boggy ground.Willow is a lovely wood though, what about making it into garden furniture?

Patf Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Perhaps you realise this - but you can probably claim on your house insurance for any damage done, and for the tree to be removed.We had 6 trees fall over in the storm in Jan. last year, and could claim up to ?1500€ for their disposal, without having it checked out by an expert.It does depend on the severity of the storm though.

Just Katie Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just a point. if the tree is near your house and you live in a wetter area, you, this may result in heave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
