Felling of the trunk of a Fig tree that is diseased with Root Knot Nematode. The Fig tree trunk leans very close the the boundary wall and has branches that extend across and over the boundary wall. The tree has caused many cracks in this wall resulting in the lifting of several garden stones. I am concerned over the house foundations being safe and the sewer than runs directly underneath may become blockaged as their roots are likely to get into them . The Fig lost one of its main limbs last year due to this disease and has more weight on one side than the other making it more susceptible to falling which could cause harm or damage if it were to fall. I have been advise by a tree surgeon that it would be best to cut the tree down and replant a new Fig sapling in a better location.
