Old Rectory Brimpsfield Gloucestershire
Silver Birch overhanging the driveway - to fell. This tree has an asymmetric crown due to group pressure. The tree which caused this has now been removed, leaving the Silver Birch exposed and likely to fail. A hard reduction to alleviate this danger would leave the tree looking unsightly and, in my opinion, it would be better to fell this tree to near ground level.
