    Removal of beech tree showing clear signs of Meripilus giganteus, a decay fungus that causes significant deterioration of the structural root plate and is strongly associated with sudden, unpredictable whole-tree failure. Although the crown currently appears healthy, the presence of fruiting bodies indicates advanced root decay that cannot be remedied or reliably mitigated through pruning. Given the tree?s compromised stability and its proximity to regularly used areas, it now presents an unacceptable safety risk. For these reasons, removal is considered the most appropriate management option, with a suitable replacement tree to be planted to maintain amenity value.

G16 - conifers - remove 2 x dead stems. T17 and T18 is to carry out a thorough dead wood of both trees, and conduct an aerial inspection of the trees structures to identify potential hazzards. If we discover any issues, for example broken limbs, rot pockets that are substantial (over 30% into a limb or union), excessively rubbing branches that have resulted in the lower branch having the cambium rubbed back to more than 20%, we would request that we remove these items as a matter of safety. We would also ask that we bring any over extending lateral branches back to the natural canopy line, in an attempt to prevent future limb failure. T19 - Oak - remove dead wood T20 - Acer - remove dead stem T21 - Norway Maple - Crown lift to 2.5m. G24 - Silver Birch -remove 2 dead top sections from group of 7.
