Land at Brentwood & Glenholme Cantilupe Road Ross-on-Wye Herefordshire HR9 7AN
Ash tree at SO 60238 24237. The tree has shed a very large branch thatcarried a significant proportion of its canopy. In tearing away it hascreated a long wound down the trunk some 3 metres long by about 50cm wide. Decay is visible at the point of failure. Remedial work to makesafe would have to be so extensive as to significantly lessen its public amenity value, while its expected safe, useful life expectancy will have been much reduced by the damage suffered. Furthermore it shows some dieback that could be attributed to Chalara dieback of ash,which is likely to worsen, reducing its life expectancy still further.
