5 CORNER GREEN, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 9JJ
T1 Malus spp. - Fell apple tree. Significant dieback has occurred this year and the classic signs of honey fungus (Armillaria) are present in the basal area and structural root zone. Upon sounding the dark area around the base of the tree significant decay and dysfunctional roots were evident. It is not safe to keep the tree as it would almost certainly hit the extension of the house on its way down. No amount of pruning can help this tree unfortunately.
