Description

Large and mature Beech tree on the boundary between 35 Church Street (Unity House) and Holy Trinity Church, it is adjacent to Church Street.In accordance with recommendations made by a tree specialist, we are proposing that the tree in question is felled.The Beech tree has been identified as having extensive fruiting bodies of the fungus Meripilus giganteus (Giant Polypore). This was first identified over 12 months ago, since then fruiting bodies have appeared at the base of the tree and further up the trunk. The persistence of this fungus was confirmed in early January 2023 by a tree specialist from Groveside Tree Specialists.This fungus is known to be extremely dangerous and can cause the tree to become unstable, whilst appearing externally to be perfectly healthy. This Beech tree is very large and is adjacent to a graveyard, local road and a residential/office building (35 Church Street). If this tree were to fall then it could cause significant damage and disruption.
