Field House, 23 Pettiwell, Garsington, Oxon, OX44 9DB

T1 - Mature Silver Birch T2 - Mature Yew T1 - Mature Silver Birch - reduce by 30% by removing 4 metres of height. Pruning to good growing points. Reduce lateral spread by up to 2 metres. T2 - Mature Yew tree - reduce branches overhanging garden path by up to 2 metres. Reason light and space. Remarks:

Queensgate, Butts Way, Aston Rowant

Mature Beech 18m tall, 900mm trunk diameter at 1.5m above ground level. The tree has been suppresed with the significant mass of the canopy toward the road. There is a ganoderma bracket developing between 2 buttress roots on the southern side of the tree. Appraisal: The tree appears to be responding to the loss of its neighbour by producing adventitious growth on the Northern side. It does have a pathogenic fungus, probably a Ganoderma species, growing between the buttress roots and this will gradually develop. The tree will have been exposed to wind forces significantly more than it has adapted to as a result of the removal of the adjacent tree. The fungus may have vectored into the lower section of the tree as a result of excessive movement in the winter storms. Given the significant weight bias of the tree, I would envisage the tree failing within 20 years. Pruning to alleviate the bias towards the road and mitigate the stresses at the base of the tree would exacerbate the fungal activity and thus is not really a viable solution. Mature Sycamore 18m tall, 800mm trunk diameter at 1.5m above ground level. Historic damage with associated decay at base of tree (See pic 3). Canopy has been supressed with the signficant mass of the canopy toward the adjacent dwelling. Decay pockets on main stem at 2m, 3m and 3.5m above ground level. Appraisal: The sycamore was the subordinate tree in the original group of three. It has a very suppressed crown. It is responding to the loss of its neighbour by producing adventitious growth on the northern side. The decay pocket at 2m extends at least 300mm into the main stem. It is likely the other 2 at 3m and 3.5m extend a similar distance into the stem. This is fairly common in mature sycamores and catastrophic failure at this type of decay point is the eventual outcome. Recommendations: T1 & T2 have structural issues that are not easily mitigated by pruning. There is ample space to plant replacement trees on the section, thereby maintaining tree cover. I would suggest replacing with 2-3 native beech and removing the two trees, T1 and T2 within 3 years.

Harpsden Rectory, 2 Harpsden Way, HENLEY-ON-THAMES, Oxon, RG9 1NL

Hornbeam x 9 - reduce crown height by approx 2m to significantly reduce the threat of failure and to maximise natural light. I wish to gain council approval to carry out a crown reduction on 9 Hornbeam trees. The trees were planted as a hedge, but have been left to form into mature trees. There are a number of cavities (highlighted in pics) and tight buttresses with included bark evident. They stand around 11 metres with minor deadwood evident, otherwise showing normal vigour. My client considers them to have a high amenity value and wants them managed. By reducing the height of the crowns this will reduce the threat of failure and increase natural light throughout the garden. All cuts will leave sufficient live growth and where necessary target pruned.
