Already removed tree worth preserving in the development plan

I suspect that they will proceed as any confident person would and do not want to make a big deal about it here in the forum, since the message of the last pages was quite clear after all.

And why doesn’t it just state that clearly and distinctly? You can also ask questions and get plenty of people to respond. And it is always helpful for other readers to know the outcome of the story. If forums only have questions and no solutions are posted, forums are pretty pointless.

As Kerstin writes, not only take, but also give when seeking advice for free. X others are also affected by such a tree story and one or another finds the result helpful.

Why? Because! I knew yesterday how I personally wanted to proceed, but still had to discuss it with the current owner. Now the whole thing has been discussed and I can communicate it: there will be a general photo documentation of the property in the handover protocol. I will, as originally planned, plant my little tree. Should this still cause a problem, I can show, even if the administrative offense of felling would probably be time-barred by then anyway, that the tree had already been removed when I took over the property. I currently don’t know anything about the development plan and don’t want to build anything there at the moment. Accordingly, I simply planted my tree in a free corner of the property. :)

Don’t make more out of it than it is… otherwise you won’t keep up with your house construction. Use a camera with date imprint and archive the photos. Site-appropriate is very versatile. They don’t even have to be native, actually. Below are two examples that wouldn’t be site-appropriate because they would be too large for a normally compact plot. Linden and chestnut are more or less avenue or park trees.

And then you wouldn’t want the linden 5m next to the house, because it gets big.

two trimmed chestnuts that he had in front of the house and that shaded everything.

Apple trees are great. Make sure to pay attention to cross-pollination, so two matching ones. And if you can lie in a hammock between them later, even better :)

Oh, I enjoy it and funny enough, the owner was also happy about a nice set of photos as a memory. We will change a bit on the property and purely for personal memorial reasons, I find the photo collection of how it used to be quite nice. Our predecessors put a lot of heart into the property and I find the idea quite nice that I can look myself in 10-20 years to see how it was "back then" from the perspective of the day after tomorrow. It is different today than we imagine for tomorrow, but still worth remembering.

The property is actually quite large. So depending on the location on the property, a park tree would basically be acceptable.

We have that in mind! Two trees will actually be planted for exactly this reason. It was just not directly relevant to the question at first – that's why I left it out. As described in the other topic, the whole thing will be complemented by hedges of butterfly bush, wild lilac, spirea, and privet. The lawn will be replaced by a low wildflower mix and for the smaller planting there will be an insect-friendly and drought-resistant mix of perennials and grasses of various kinds.
