Five Day Notice for the removal of of T13 quercus robur - English Oak. . The trunk has been hollow for at least the last 30 years and it’s been leaning like this too but we used to get so many nuthatches and woodpeckers because of it that we kept it. If it fell before, it would only have caused very limited property damage. However, the storage of so much heavy weight on a significant part of its unprotected rpa (some of which you can see in 4) during this exceptionally dry summer has now caused its health to deteriorate very dramatically so I think it has to be removed. You can see green growth on the trunk which has never happened before on anything like this scale. Also, the area round the hollow base is now much wetter than it ever used to be. It’s been irreparably damaged.
