Land South Of Newport Road Exeter
Oak T1Reasons for the work:- Recent stem failure causing serious damage to garage, fence and garden furniture- Ductile failure point with no obvious signs of pre-existing defects- This failed stem is the parent to several large lateral branches that originate close to the failure point- These attachments are weakened somewhat by the wound tear- These lateral branches in the northern crown aspect are hyperextended and more exposed to wind than previously- These branches are particularly vulnerable to storms prevailing from the east- These branches directly overhang the garageA description of the proposed worksRemove the two large hyperextended limbs in the northern crown aspect with one cut approximately 250mm in diameter, use a coronet cut to give the appearance of storm damage. Reduce the two smaller lateral branches below this by 2-3m, retaining 3-4m of branch, with a 70mm maximum cut diameter. See annotations within tree report.
