No. 15 Strawberry Hill Road Twickenham
T1. Himalayan Birch Rear Garden: Phytophthora bleeding canker is a plausible and common cause of lower-trunk bark damage in Himalayan birch, especially in moist or compacted soils. The condition is often triggered or exacerbated by environmental stress, rather than occurring in isolation. Visible decay usually indicates a progressive decline process, often involving multiple agents. Unfortunately, the extent of the decay is affecting the stability of the tree and, therefore, removal is our only option. Dismantle in sections using rigging equipment to a level as close as possible to the surrounding soil. Grind out the stump. The tree's current height is 14m, and its crown spread is 6m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 0.0m, and the crown spread is 0.0m
