Barlow Close, Littlworth Road, Wheatley

T1 - is a large over mature Poplus sp with a DBH of 1.3m located at OS grid ref 587740570. From the audible echo acoustics listened to after the tree was tapped with a rubber mallet it is believed that the base of this tree is hollow. The flexible grabber was inserted into an open cavity at the base of the tree until at least 16" of it were inside of the tree and an amount of discoloured heart wood was extracted the discolouration and powdery texture of the heart wood would indicate that the tree is subject to some form of internal basal decay. Tree 2 - is a large over mature Poplus sp with a DBH of 1m located at OS grid ref 5876905698. The tree has obvious fluting at the base and also has heavy Honeysuckle (Lonicera sp) infestation from the base to approx 9m. Similar to tree 1 this specimen created very conclusive acoustics when tapped with the rubber mallet and it is believed that the extent of the basal decay cavity is to at lesat 2.5m from ground level. Tree 3 - is a large over mature Poplus sp with a DBH of 1.1m located at OS gridref 5877005697. Like its neighbours Trees 1 and 2 this specimen was tap tested at the base and again the acoustics suggest the base is hollow. Tree 4 - again is a large over mature Poplus sp with a DBH of 1.2m located at OS grid ref 5877405696. It was noted that this tree has significant deadwood in the crown. This tree was tap tested and the acoustics present that it is hollow at the base. It also has an open cavity at the base to which the flexible grabber was inserted into and like Tree 1 discoloured and brittle powdery heart wood was extracted from it. Having subjected the trees to a thorough visual inspection, analysis of the basal decay and review the recent failure of the neighbouring Poplar tree it was concluded that if any of the Poplus sp trees failed from the property of 26 Barlow Close, Wheatley there would be a high potential for damage to persons or property which could have catastrophic effect thus the recommendation is to fell all four trees. G1 39 Poplar Spec: S15 T1, T2, T3, T4 Fell tree to ground level.

25 Bell Street, Henley on Thames, Oxon, RG9 4BA

T1 - Fir tree T1 - Fir Tree - remove, excessive shading, suspected root damage to neighbour. Pruning impossible, replace with 1 Field Maple. Remarks:

Bullcroft Park, Wallingford, Oxon

T1 - Large Chestnut T1 - Large Chestnut adjacent to play area. The tree was reported to have lost a limb on 19.6.17. We attended the site on 20.6.17 to clear up and make safe. A climbing inspection was carried out at the time of the clear up and the following recommendations made: The lost limb appears to have fallen victim to Summer Branch Drop, an inexplicable event where a mature tree loses a limb for no apparent reason. There was very minimal signs of any defects at the point of failure and the branch was not over-extended. However, the tree does show signs of bleeding canker and there are numerous unions throughout the canopy that have included bark and compression forks, both types of potentially weak junctions. At some stage the tree had a triple steel cable bracing system installed. It is unclear whether it has been purposefully cut or torn by the tree, but the system is now completely disconnected and no replacement bracing has been installed. The tree is a large, mature specimen with a very high value target zone and as such presents a high risk. I recommend the tree is subjected to a whole canopy reduction of 15% of crown volume and a minor crown thin of approximately 10%. All final cuts to be made at suitable points of secondary live growth and the final shape to be a naturalistic, rounded form. All resultint debris to be removed from the site. I also recommend a replacement brace is installed in the form of a non-invasive Cobra system including all three main stems. Reason for the above works: Health and safety reasons. Remarks: Spec:

Chiltern Cottage, The Green, Aston Rowant, Watlington, OX49 5ST

T1 & T2 - Leylandii T1 & T2 are both Leylandii variant trees. 15-20m high, trunk diameter 50-60cm. They were planted over 30 years ago by a previous owner. They are growing inappropriately large for the area and surrounding properties, blocking sunlight, ruining soil, roots pushing up patios/pavement/driveway. T1 is threatening the telegraph wires which run through it. The mess from the tree debris and pigeon droppings is unwanted. We wish to fell both trees and cut to ground level. Remarks:

Woodland belt to rear of properties on Valley Road, Henley on Thames

Overview: 1 x Horse Chestnut within TPO group 09S85/W1 on council owned land. This tree leans over the rear gardens of the properties on Valley Road. It is important to note that this is a young tree in close proximity to the rear of the properties and may not have been present when the initial TPO was made. The crown is currently slightly asymmetrical as it looks for solar gain away from woodland group into the gardens of Valley Road. Specification: T1 - Horse Chestnut, provide qualified arboricural team to carry out removal of 3 x lowest laterals to southern aspect growing over property on 55/57 Valley Road.
