Springbank Beech Avenue Exeter EX4 6HE
Robinia (T1) - The tree fell due to the presence of loose bark throughout its structure, which caused the wood to become brittle and soft in its later stages. Additionally, climbing roots attached to the southern side of the stem contributed to its instability. The tree was located near a children's playground in the garden and along the public path known as Spring Lane.
