Lovelands Farm Lovelands Lane Lower Kingswood Surrey KT20 6XG
T1: Sycamore - TPO tree with large cavity at base. Twin stemmed from 1m then trifucated at 2m. A large dominant tree overhanging neighbouring property and garden. The tree appears to have good vitality and there were no visible signs of fungal fruiting bodies at the time of inspection. There is a large cavity at ground level probed to 1m depth and 1.5m width originating between the buttress roots on the south side of the stem, located directly beneath the bifurcation, There is black staining within the cavity. As this cavity is large and at ground level there are significant forces acting on this area. We would recommend that the crown of the tree is crown reduced by up to 3.5m in height and 3m lateral spread in order to reduce the lever forces on the stem and reduce the chances of complete failure from the base/bifurcation reducing the risk posed to adjacent property. Current height 20m finished height 16.5m. Current spread N8m E7m S8m W8, finished radial spread approximately 5m.
