I have an 85 foot western cedar tree 15 feet from my house-east side. I'm thinking of having it cut down. The tree sheds little branches & seeds all year round. This debris cannot be composted as it is toxic. The result.....lawn is receding, my roof catches the fallout in it's niches & eavetroughs. My gardening has become maintenance.As a second choice to cutting it down, how high from the ground could the limbs be removed(already removed as high as 12') and or could the tree be thinned?
Not a rare tree here, cutting one more down won't make a big difference to the community. Sounds like it might make a big difference to you. You will probably notice a significant improvement after it's gone.
