Hi all,
I live in Dublin on the northside and I have a back garden approx 5 m wide by 18 m long. At the end of the garden there are 3 fairly mature trees...I have no idea what type they are but I would guess they have been there for a good 20 years or more, or possibly since the house was built in the 60s. Problem is in the summer the branches get very full and I lose about 15 to 20 feet of the garden. So I want to cut back some of the branches and give them a trim. A friend of mine said that there are certain times of the year that it is illegal to trim branches of trees, due to birds nesting, hatching etc. Is this true, and if so what are the dates?
Cheers,
Ciaran.
