Well, as I said in my post of 13/09, the TV programme called City Trees was quite unequivocal in its message. It said that trees could co-exist quite happily in quite dense housing, including London. In London, there was even a tree growing through a multi-story car-park. The progreamme was quite scathing about builders who quite thoughtlessly stash bricks and other materials around the bases of trees, thus causing quite needless damage to root systems. i.e. builders should have special training in tree cxonservation. But also, as I said, they mentioned the dangers of chopping down well-established trees which had 'reached a state of equilibrium' with their surroundings

Sorry to cause you confusion.
