T1 - Fagus sylvatica, Beech. Stage 3 retrenchment pruning. approx 1.5m - 2m crown reduction. Although tree has responded very well to the first 2 stages of retrenchment pruning the large cavity on the main trunk is still a big concern. stress fracture formation and sap bleeding through bark continues to advance on opposing side to cavity. tap test indicates large area of inactive cambium. reduce crown to lessen wind loading and crown mass above weakened stem.
