T1 Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) - Removal. Tree positioned adjacent to a large mature Sycamore. Due to significant light deprivation and dry soil conditions, the Pine has experienced severe dieback, shedding large branches, and now retains very few. Additionally, it exhibits a pronounced lean over our patio. To maintain the ecological and aesthetic value of the site, a replacement Pine tree (Pinus 'Chantry Blue') will be planted in a nearby suitable location.
