Tree WorksDec 2023T1 . MATURE SYCAMORE TREE - To remove the remaining crown (canopy) on a (23-24 metre) mature Sycamore tree, leaving the main stem at a height above the tear. This tree has experienced mechanical failure (loss of one upright codominant stem in high winds) behind no.23 the Courtyards and is at risk of wind throw due to the shift in balance of the tree. The tree is now unevenly balanced in the direction of no.23 the Courtyards. With added seasonal growth, added weight from precipitation and with the location of the tree on the outer edge of the wood which will catch the high winds, it is highly likely that this tree will experience further mechanical failure, most likely resulting in a shear crack from the stem base running up to the point of weakness (tear) in the union. The house is within the falling height of the tree and it will cause significant damage to the property should the tree fail. The point of mechanical failure (union) has shown visual signs of internal heartwood decay which has spread to the remaining upright stem. This tree is now unbalanced and heavily weighted in the direction of the property at no.23, a virtical fracture has appeared at the base of the tree where water is now running out from. Please note that the bark at this point is also blistering and coming away due to the current stress and load bearing. T2 and T3 SEMI MATURE SYCAMORE TREES - To remove/dismantle two semi mature Sycamore trees adjacent to the Mature Sycamore tree above (T1.), these trees are failing, one has fallen onto another Sycamore tree which is propping it up, thus causing load bearing. The second Sycamore tree is failing, the bark has altered, discolouring of the bark (sooty bark disease), bleeding canker, blistering bark and virtical fractures. Both these trees are in falling distance of no.23 which is 18 metres away from the main stems. Removal of these trees will allow for future tree planting.Decision
Tree WorksJul 2023Mature Sycamore - fell this tree has recently lost 50% of its upper canopy due to wind throw causing one of the codominant upright stems to breakaway at the first main union, a height of three metres from ground level, (please see attached photos). 2 x semi mature trees are also failing, Fell one has fallen onto another Sycamore tree which is helping to prop this one up, thus causing load bearing. The second Sycamore tree is failing, the bark has altered, discolouring of the bark (sooty bark disease), bleeding canker, blistering bark and virtical fractures. Both these trees are in falling distance of no.23 which is 18 metres away from the main stems.Decision
