  T1 Oak tree pollard leaving at approximately 8m. Reasons: A picus test has been carried out. This Oak has substantial dead branches mainly in the upper crown South/Eastly side above the evident fungal brackets. This indicates root failure and an extensive decay below this area. There is further dieback throughout the crown and insect activity producing ?frass? up the main trunk. Taking these symptoms of decline into account and in view of this specimen?s location it is appropriate to recommend that the whole crown should be removed effectively turning the Oak into ?monolith? on the grounds of health and safety. (TPO 37, 1988 and 12, 2017)
