Hi
Complete novice looking for some advise please. I have two silver birches which are sadly decaying in the trunk. Not sure if visible on the picture but the trunks are cracking as well and the decay is making them potentially dangerous so am going to take them down to stumps myself.
Can anyone advise if its possible to plant new birches next to the stumps or if I would need to wait for the stumps to decay first or advise of anything else I could plant next to the stumps that would grow quickly and help provide screening at the back.
