Description

The first tree is a mature Ash which is 16m in height and 700mm diameter at 1.5m. The tree has Ash Dieback, with fungal fruiting bodies to the main stem and central crown. Due to the tree's location alongside the main road in the village we are concerned about the health and safety risk this possess. After having the tree surveyed it was identified that it should be reduced to a 6m monolith in order to make the tree safe for the many pedestrians, drivers and other road users.The second tree is a mature Holm Oak which is 20m in height and 850mm diameter at 1.5m. The tree has a heavy crown extending almost entirely eastbound beneath the crowns of adjacent conifers that overshadow it. Due to the tree's location next to the pavement there is risk that the crown will fail and fall onto the pavement below, causing a health and safety risk for any pedestrians using the pavement. The tree surveyor stated it needs 'selectively reduce limb by up to 3m remove partly failed smaller limb resting on it'.
