  Reference number 443, tree number 38. Works to carry out: Full Removal of Ash Justification for works: report from arborist states that the tree needs to be removed immediately due to high threat to property and medium threat to life. The tree stem has cracks, bark missing, insect boring, bark inclusion, co-dominance and is leaning. The crown is necrotic, has early leaf fall, die back, stag heading and branch crossing. The report states that there are several large Co-dominant stems with very heavy bark inclusion and collar decay. The bark has lesions and fissures on failing stems with heavy signs of insect burrowing. Because of the tree position and heavy competition the trees multiple stems have a heavy lean and some cases contorted due to phototropism. The crown is stag headed and has crown die back with several branches with wilting and dead scorched leaves. Several areas of die back have signs of epicormic growth as a result of failing limbs. It is the arborists opinion that the tree has ash dieback. High likelihood of stem failure leading to wind throw, medium likelihood of branch failure.
