Description

T1, Oak, Crown reduce the southern side of the crown by 2-3m. Reduce the remaining crown by 1-2m to balance.(see pics attached for approx. pruning line) Pruning works to be the final stage of a 10 year program. Although the original application is now out of date. The final stage was delayed due to a lack of internal growth /Pruning points available. We now feel that the inner and lower crown has produced enough growth to allow the reduction needed. Inonotus Dryadues was present during the original inspection (June 2009) but was not present on the recent visit.(Jan 2026) Ganoderma is visible at the base of the trunk with several decay pockets between the buttresses showing signs of white rot. The western upright limb has several wood pecker holes which suggests that hollowing / decay is present within the upper crown.
