Hillbill you should inform the EA to the GHW plant and theyshould deal with it or contractors will come in to do the job. If you want to tackleit yourself, buy a disposable over suit with a hood, gloves (latex) and a duskmask and safety specks. You want to cut and double bag it and the tool you usealso place in a bag until you can clean with petrol or the like. Burn the GHWin an incinerator with the gloves, over suit and mask. The regen from the GHWwant to be sprayed off with round-up if you are near a water course, or injectit into the stem. But again the best bet is the EA, I’d just mention that kitsplay round there and it’s an accident waiting to happen ….that should get them to puta wiggle on
:D

Genesis wrote a song about the giant Hogweed - worth a listen (it was EARLY Genesis - not the later carp pop based rubbish!)

There is no fruit on the tree that i can see. Definitely nothing like plane fruit. They are mature (ish) trees, between 20 and 30 feet tall.

More pics. :)

This is the bark from the 3 trees in the stand. The first is the largest.

Leaves turned upside down with the wind. Not really silvery, just a paler shade of green
