I have two very big pine trees in my small yard. I know now that it was stupid to plant them as they are now HUGE but knowing nothing about gardening the man at the nursery told me they would not grow too big. Anyway, they look like they are never going to stop growing and even though I love them and get the bottom branches removed fairly regularly, I was wondering if it is safe to keep them in the yard. I know it would cost a fortune to have them removed so I get a gardener in from time to time to prune bottom branches. The top ones are way too high to reach. I have had conflicting opinions on these trees from different people and am scared they are going to start ripping up paths, damaging plumbing etc. in the future. I have no lawn to speak of and other trees are dying due to these lovely but impractical trees!!! Any advice would be helpful....I am in South Australia (very dry here).
