- Apr 2014TreesOutcome in report
T1) Sycamore. Request to fell and replace. Due to tensile stress as its grown curved at the base, the upper side fibres have displaced around a notch just above the bend, creating a deep longitudinal crevasse, instead of producing the compensating tension wood by means of contraction, it is now supported by Matthecks 'Ropes'. In between which is very damp soft wood with some bark loss and exposed Cambium, as the surface water is using the deep and sloping crack as a run off there's a high possibility of rot, infection and pets as it dries out in summer. As it's located on a raised bed with a flagged surface beneath, it does not benefit from a fully supported root system. It's also covered in Ivy and all together does not equal an exceptional specimen. The occupants are very distressed with the excessive amounts of sap it secretes on their very many windows on that side and making the flags extremely hazardous underfoot. All amounting to very high maintenance costs per year. In addition it casts an enormous shade over that entire half of the property and garden. It's very high and exposed to wind its location and they worry constantly about the close proximity the house which is made up in the majority of glass on that side. They have many trees which they coincide with very happily and are more than willing to replace this one with a suitable good specimen further down the garden, away from the house.
