OAK #1-reduce spread to north by 4m - current spread of 11m being reduced to 7m. reduce spread to south by 1m - current spread of 8m being reduced to 7m. reduce spread to east by 4m - current spread of 11m being reduced to 7m. reduce spread to west by 2m - current spread of 9m being reduced to 7m. reduce height by 1m. REASON - fungal decay is setting in at the base, SE side. Decay is in early stages but cannot reasonably be accurately determined as a percentage of the cross sectional area of the tree base. Reduction work is being started at this early stage to prepare the crown for future reductions as the decay progresses, in order to ensure safety of persons and property and to ensure conservation of the tree long term by preventing failure of main stem.
