Description

Hybrid Poplars (T1, 2, 3 & 4) - FELL - Due to compromised structural condition & significant risk of harm/damage to adjacent outbuildings and users of adjacent public footpath. Trees have suffered significant fire damage, evidence of fruit bodies of decay fungi and 'sounding hammer' assessment indicated resultant decay/dysfunctional tissue of over 25% circumference of main stems from below ground up to 3m+ Species does NOT readily compartmentalise decay and it is my professional opinion that mechanical strength is already significantly reduced, causing recent history of major branch failures, and further rapid decay is inevitable, leading to heightened risk of whole tree failure within near future. Replant with 2 x std Wild Cherry (Prunus avium) & 2 x std Bird Cherry (Prunus padus).Leyland Cypress (T5) - PRUNE - Raise crown by removal of low 'wolf-limb' @ 1.5m and other small diameter branches back to main stems to give clearance of 4-5m above ground to improve form and lateral light levels to adjacent hedging and ground flora.
