Proposal

T1 windmill palm Trachycarpus fortunei T2 windmill palm Trachycarpus fortunei t1 and t2 were planted in raised flower beds about 20 years ago as they have grown they have become too big for there surroundings and started to break the raised beds, this can be seen in pictures attached. Although they have shallow fibrous roots the beds they are planted in are to small for the size t1 and t2 have grown. They are also next to a neighbouring building although they haven't caused any damage yet it seems it only a matter of time as they are growing about 5cm from the building in some places. this can also be seen in picture attached. I would like to remove T1 and t2 to ground level. I would normally suggest re planting for a tree removal but this garden in very small and all patio so there is nowhere suitable to re plant.
