T1 - Cupressus sp, Cypress tree. Fell tree to ground level due to size and condition of tree. Tree is causing damage to adjacent walls and is unsuitable with its current size. Its over mature age, sparse foliage and colouration indicate a low vigour and therefore increased risk of failure in severe weather conditions. Replant replacement tree.
