    Ash N corner T2 The tree was inspected by the visiting Exeter City Council tree specialist on 1st March 2023. It was noted In the last few years, the tree has further died from ash die back and there are dangerous dead branches at height which need safely removing. The tree has a canopy which overhangs the highway and for reasons of public safety, the tree needs to be removed while still safe to do. Sycamore tree adjacent to Ash will have space to spread it's canopy and no longer be crowded by the ash.

    87 Greyfriars Road Exeter EX4 7BS

    T1 - Sessile Oak- Remove to Ground level - Removal of the heavily suppressed sessile oak with the bark-included junction is advised to eliminate the risk associated with that structurally weak junction, reduce intra-group competition and improve spacing within the group, which will support the long-term condition of the remaining trees and help keep risk within broadly acceptable levels. T2 - Monterey Pine - It is recommended that the leaning branch from the Monterey pine that extends above the neighbouring garden is pruned back to remove the over-extended section over the adjoining property and reduce the lever arm acting on the branch union, thereby lowering the risk of branch failure into the neighbouring garden while maintaining a balanced crown where practicable this is approximately 1.5 metres in length.
