    Works to a tree with a conservation area: Eucalyptus (T1) - fell The tree is approximately 14m in height. The tree has major dieback in the crown and is in poor physiological condition. There are also large cracks in the main stem that severely compromise that structural integrity of the tree. The cambium is also in a poor state. It now presents a hazard that will only worsen with time. Replacement is the safest and sensible long term option A native pollinator will be planted in a more suitable location.
