Ash no. 6 - Fell to ground level (stump to be retained in place). Reason: Tree formerly three-stemmed from base with central stem historically failed or removed; stump of failed/removed stem shows significant wood decay with fungal fruitbodies consistent with wood decay fungus Polyporus squamosus (dryads saddle) present at time of most recent survey; west stem shows significant wood decay at stem base with hollowing to depth of 500mm and moderate lean over adjacent off-site shed; east stem shows crack in stem base and significant lean to east. As such, stems likely to be at increased risk of whole stem failure and likely to fail in direction of lean into adjacent off-site garden and shed; tree to be felled to ground level to remove significant risk and consequences of failure tree poses to garden users.
