  I want to remove the tree completely and plant a new tree (possibly a weeping willow) in its place. The tree, which we think is a beech, is either completely dead or 80% dead (see Photo). It has been steadily losing branches over the past 3 years. This year only about 20% of the remaining canopy came into leaf, and the foliage all died by the beginning of June. We think the problem is that the ground in that spot is particularly marshy in winter - hence our plan to replace the tree with a weeping willow, which should suit the soil conditions. The tree will be cut down and the stump either ground down or dug out completely. The location of the tree is marked with an “X” on the Sketch Plan
