HIGH PRIORITY: T001 - Lime tree adjacent to A310 - Remove tree due to patch of decay at base with presence of Kretzschmaria duesta fungus (see photographs). Please note that we recommend that this is removed as a very high priority (within one month). T006: Beech tree within rear garden, Meripilus giganteus around base - Client wishes to retain tree but reduce in overall height and spread, and crown lift. We recommend a significant reduction in height from 25m to approximately 10m, crown lift from 2.5m to 5m, and a canopy reduction from a radius of C. 12m to 4m in every direction. The aim of such pruning is to keep a large volume of habitat rather than keep the tree alive and healthy, as it has a limited safe useful life expectancy. T008: Dead/dying tree with diameter of 10cm - Remove.
