Glenroy Parkhill Road Torquay TQ1 2DT
T1. English oak, Quercus robur. T1 is growing in the garden of Glenroy as shown on map. It has been in bad health for a number of years now shedding leaves early, and signs of crown thinning, despite a hard reduction a few years ago. This year has put out fruiting bodies for Meripilus Giganteus. these can be seen it pictures although they have turned black. there is also severe decay in the stem of the tree from ground level to about 2 metres. this cavity creating a weak point in the tree making it likely to fail. this can also be seen in pictures.I propose to dismantle T1 to ground level and re plant another quercus robur in another area of the garden in order to avoid it getting infected with the existing Meripilus Giganteus.
