Orchard To The Rear Of 13 And 15 Staverton Road Oxford Oxfordshire
Fell 4no. Plum Trees as specified by University College in the North Oxford Victorian Suburb Conservation Area.The trees are situated at the edge of the orchard and are in a cluster. They all have die back in the canopy, two of them have bracket fungus growing in the canopy and they are all fruiting poorly; i believe they may have silver leaf. Application is to fell all four trees and grind out the stump, waste would be chipped on-site, timber will be retained for firewood. i would then re-plant with a non-stone fruit tree species such as apple, pear or quince.
