Evergreen Tree: What am I.....

I'm a large evergreen tree who grew to a height of approx 15ft (before my previous owner cut me down to a paltry 8ft). My trunk is approx 6 inches wide and my general width is around 2-3ft.

You can see a picture of me (and my friends) in the following pictures (I'm on the left in the 1st pic and on the right in the 2nd pic)....

From the looks of things, you are a Cedar Primadella that needs a heavy pruning. :wink:

Excellent! Thanks for the ID.

Any idea what type of root system they produce and how big they are likely to be?

Unfortunately these trees were blocking out so much light in my garden they had to go. They've been cut at about 4' high and stripped so I've only got stumps left. I wonder how easy it would be to uproot these. I'd prefer to uproot rather than cut off at ground level as I need to put a fence along the line where the trees are.

Any advice much appreciated.
