Proposal
5-Day Notice - T5 - Acer platanoides - Fell Reason - Semi mature/mature maple. This tree has been in decline for the last six years with increased crown die-back which has been removed annually. This season, its decline has accelerated with the following concerns present: sparse foliage, die-back throughout, reduced vigour, cracked/detached bark with black staining beneath, all suggesting suspected sooty bark disease (Cryptostroma corticale). Risk of failure.
