    What a beautiful tree!
    Such a shame it is, as you say, just a few feet too near. But if it wasn't for the mess it's actually well balanced site in the layout.
    I wonder if it was because a) cars were smaller when it was built b) cars were expected to be in the garage.
    The berry situation is stunning but the same in the wild growing ones around here and the berries have been there for 6 weeks or more this year. It isn't always so.
    If you have to remove it if it is such a problem and plant another there are even some now with different colour leaves and berries.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    There are varieties that are columnar which would easily fit into the grassed area.
    We have an Autumn Spire - yellow berries and dramatic red autumn foliage.

    I've just looked that up, sounds a cracker but eye watering prices for the ones I saw, but considering it's a lifetime pleasure purchase no doubt good value in the right spot

    Smaller ones are cheaper.

    No doubt, I was just mentioning the first ones at top of my quick search page
