Palm trees are under protection and removing them can get you in heavy trouble.

Contact Matt Dread of MJ Gardening.  He quoted me 250€ for a very large palm.  He will check first whether it has got the weevil.

I had some guys round who were trying to rip me off.  They produced some little animal which looked like a baby mole and said my palm is very dangerous, likely to fall on the pavement and kill someone.  They quoted 450€, I said I haven’t got the money, they said go to bank and get it. I said there is no money in the bank.  The price then came down to 300€.  I said I haven’t got that either.  After arguing for about 30 Mins they said if I give them 100€ they can buy a chemical to treat palm.  I was getting fed up and said I have no money.  They then left in a white van with a yellow sign on it.

Matt Dread came and said my palm is healthy.

They must have thought I was stupid.
