26, Sheen Gate Gardens, London, SW14 7NY
T0134 T29 CONF (Bay) The works requested are a full tree removal of this tree. A tree surgeon (Pat's Tree Surgery) upon inspection has confirmed that the tree is diseased and now dangerous of falling down. One of the trunks already fell down (see pictures). The base of the tree and roots appear to have been hollowed out by the disease, the trunk is hollow in some places, and there is viable fungus growing. We have small children so we are also worried this presents a significant safety risk. Tree Surgeon: Patricio Merchan, Wood Green, Haringey, London N22 6LA T: 02088811215 [email protected]
