  The Haven Chorleywood Road Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4EL

  T1: Conifer (Cupressocyparis leylandii) located on the boundary of the rear garden. The tree has recently had a large limb fail in storm Eunice which has left a large wound 3-4m up the trunk. The snapped-out limb was growing from a previous wound on the tree which now leaves 2 wounds on the east-side of the trunk. First one at 3-4m high and a second one from that point right down to ground level. On inspection, the terrain/elevation where the tree is growing from and the fact that the canopy is weighted over neighbouring properties and there are now 2 wounds on the east-side of the trunk which is structurally the most integral side of the tree. In order to retain the tree for the future, I would suggest the following:- Reduce and shape the canopy by approximately 3-4m in height and evenly reduce the lateral spread by 2-3m. Removing the broken branch attached and still hanging in the canopy and any major deadwood over 50mm. This will take considerable weight out of the canopy and should make for a safer tree.
