    One large white pine in rear garden - I cannot deem the tree as safe - The tree is out of perpendicular while also being very top heavy, with the lean towards property. The tree is also showing signs of deterioration with broken branches currently caught up the tree, and many previously removed from trunk. These issues are compounded by the fact lower Shooters Hill sits on a bed of London clay. These factors make it not possible for me to deem the tree as safe. I recommend removing the tree and planting something else more suitable.
