  T1 Weeping Willow - The tree has a large split in main stem with decay running down to the base. The tree is heavily waited and has a dramatic lean in the opposite direction to the split in the main stem (see attached pictures). The area is used by people and children on occasions. The church would like to retain the tree and by reducing heavily by up to 50% as this it will prolong its life expectancy.
