Perspective for mammoth tree in German front garden

Elina, we see it the same way. Thanks for the tip. Maybe I will be lucky there. I can let you know what came out of it.

Foresters asking? Karsten

Ask foresters? Karsten

In Hümmel (RLP) you can find the native Bonn native Peter Wohlleben. It doesn't get more expert, I would say.

When you read Mr. Wohlleben's website, he makes it clear that he is not available for questions / contacts. He is a forester, not a service provider.

I would inquire with the local forester / forestry office / tree nursery.

The tree is stunning! If the existing house already has a basement, then build with a basement again. If it does not have a basement, the roots will certainly be damaged during the new construction; to what extent the tree can tolerate this - expert advice is needed.

Have contacted the responsible state agency.
