    T1-Ash. Fell to ground level. Reason for proposed work- Ash tree looks like it has early stage ash die back. There is less leaf on the crown than last year. In some areas of the crown, the tips of the branches has no leaf at all. Stem snapped out recently in calm conditions. Recommend fell before ash die back becomes more prevalent throughout the crown. Suggest re-plant with 1.8m silver birch or norway maple.
