  T1, Large mature lime Tag no 5338. Tree has a lot of deadwood material in the crown and regularly sheds small limbs especially during high winds. It's lower branches are encroaching a street light on leigh view road and putting excessive weight on a phone cable. Like most lime trees it is heavily infested with aphids in the summer months which causes the garden beneath to be coated in sticky sap. Mrs Breen has accepted this beneath the tree but over the last few years a number of limbs have grown out and now overhang part of the lower garden, with a patio and eating area. To resolve all of the above issues I would like to apply for the following works to the tree Crown lift to approximately 30ft (including prunning back limbs from both the phone cable and the street lamp. ?Crown thin of 15% removing all epicormic from main trunk and taking out all major deadwood. ?light crown side pruning to bring 6 to 8 extended limbs back into the main canopy shape (reducing each limb by 8 to 12ft respectively, to the nearest live point).

  105 Nore Road Portishead BS20 8DW

  Removal of six Ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior) exhibiting symptoms consistent with Ash Dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus). The trees are showing progressive symptoms associated with Ash Dieback, including crown thinning, upper canopy dieback, dead twigs/branch tips and general decline in vitality throughout the crowns. Ash is widely recognised as becoming increasingly brittle as the disease progresses, with deterioration often accelerating over a relatively short period of time. Although the trees are located within a garden setting and are not considered to present an immediate high-risk target at present, the area beneath and surrounding the trees is regularly used by the family for amenity purposes. Given the progressive nature of the disease, the long-term retention of these trees is considered unsuitable. Removal is therefore proposed as a proactive management approach before further structural decline occurs.
