Ist es völlig lächerlich zu glauben, ich könnte diese wieder ausgraben und in Richtung Zaun bewegen?

morning! they are overgrown shrubs and a bit tat? you might grub them out and plant a small garden tree that has a better form? something like a Malus crab apple? or an Amelanchier? both much nicer and tidier with lots going on in spring summer and autumn? 🙂 just a suggestion
Possible? Likely, it just looks like a fatsia japonica to me. Though spare a thought for your neighbours who’ll inevitably struggle digging a border of their own against their side of the fence… 🤭 I’m fighting a losing battle against my neighbour’s ornamental cherry tree in the back, and a 4m tall tree breaking all my pavers in the front with its roots…
I like the tree but it’s just wasted space behind it. Might just have to come out
It’s a really established garden, and gets lots of wildlife which I enjoy, but layout isn’t practical.
If I took it out I’d like to plant some new trees.
I have two giant eucalyptus which I love too, but here just in the wrong place so have to come out
It’s not a tree in the sense of the word. It’s a Fatsia Japonica that obviously loves it there. The plant is easily available in Garden Centres You have off shoots at the base anyway . Is worth keeping as it’s hogging the space? All that space is crying out to be used. I can’t see what’s behind it. It can be trimmed down in the Late Autumn early Spring. Really is Yes/No on your part.Happy pondering.
Whilst it is clear to me that something has to be done in that area of your garden, moving a tree closer to the fence it is not the solution.
I can’t be sure from the photo, but it seems that there are two trunks, belonging to two similar plants, with the one behind looking more attractive. If this is true, I’d remove the one at the front. Next, I’d design a planting border that would cover a circle around the remaining tree and any space you’d like towards the fence.
You also have a fantastic Black Elder in there, Sambuca nigrans. Cut it back, it makes a fantastic shrub, mine is a small tree. I had a photo…….this afternoon.🥴See the black new leaves reaching up to the fence, that’s it. Amazing shrub.
you could but youd need to cut it very far back so it doesnt dry out. also best time would be autumn. if you do it now water really well this summer
It’s a fatsia not a tree, they are a hardy house plant.
Cut it back and dig it out
