  T1 - Ash T2 - Ash T1 - Ash - reduce by 50%. The tree has developed a crack from the ground to about 7' up and to a depth of about the centre of the trunk. To prevent twisting and perhaps breaking out, a 50% reduction will remove the weight and give a longer lifespan to that remaining part. T2 - Ash - Reduce top branches by 15'. Removal of the protection afforded to the upper part of this tree by the adjacent ash (Ash 1 - 50% reduction) the upper branches which are spindly, are prone to wind damage as they now become exposed.

  T1 - London Plane T1 - London Plane - reduce to 12' or remove completely. At a height of about 18' there is a very significant cavity in the tree maybe 5' or 6' deep. At this point the tree is completely hollow like a hosepipe. With the weight above this point it makes the tree unsafe. Also it stands above a building.The action recommended was given by Phil Ableson of Sylvatrees. Remarks:

  T1 - Beech T2 - London Plane T1 - Beech - reduce by 50%. A major branch has torn off at about 30' where the heartwood has become spongy. The remaining two branches above the tear are now dangerous, because of the nature of the heartwood and their significant weight. The tree would be reduced to just below the tear. A major branch on the west side would also require to be shortened by 50% to balance the tree. T2 - London Plane - shorten (or remove) a single bough - dependant upon the level of rot found when climbing. A significant lesion can be seen on a major branch about half way along its length (30'), dependant upon the degree of infection, the branch will have weight removed from its peripheral 1/3 or, in a worse case scenario, the whole branch removed, back to the trunk.
