    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. Fell to near ground level. Specification written by Martin Jenkins, NCH (Arb), Tech Cert (ArborA), Tech ArborA. Martin is also a qualified Professional Tree Inspector asassessed by the industry lead body Lantra.
