  Apple Tree (Marked X) on sketch. Proposal is to fell the tree because it has a disease that is significantly damaging the bark and has now become dangerous: One third of the tree fell down in December. One third is still upright but dead (with no bark present) The remaining third is in poor condition. Advice from my RHS-qualified gardener has been to fell the tree because it cannot be saved. I propose to plant a replacement fruit tree in a nearby location within the garden.
