- May 2023Tree WorksTreesOutcome in report
1. Holm Oak (frontage, next to left side gate, large) Whilst on site I noticed that this tree is hollow at the base and has 3 fruiting bodies of the fungus Ganoderma adspersum present. The internal decay has created an 'Eiffel Tower effect' with the non functional heartwood having decayed away over time , leaving the surrounding sapwood. The Crown is very large and weighted heavily over the road, pavement and the neighbours house. I am concerned about the safety of this tree. I would strongly recommend the following specification of works is carried out within the next 6 months to reduce the 'sail area' in high winds and lessen weight on branch unions. Reduce in height by approx. 6m. Reduce back South -Western radial spread by approx. 4-5m to lessen weight on dog-legged limb with hazard beam. Reduce remainder of crown to balance and shape. Lift low branch over gates to upright sub branch . Crown lift all around to approx. 3m. remove major dead wood.
