CEDAR COTTAGE, 20 HEATHWAY, BLACKHEATH, LONDON, SE3 7AN
(T1) (T12 on TPO schedule) Dead Cedar: section fell to ground level Tree is completely dead, which has happened suddenly. After a brief conversation with the owners, it seems that the whole area may be suffering from Honey Fungus. They have lost a recently planted Birch and had another Cedar suddenly die a few years ago. Customers said the garden is often covered in mushrooms at certain times of the year. They are keen to replant but I have suggested doing some investigation first to prevent future planting from perishing. Height 9.0m Crown spread 6.0m
