  A large branch broke away from the central trunk of a large Cherry tree TPO T264 in high winds and was subsequently identified as diseased and rotten right through (see photo of fallen diseased branch). A tree surgeon has removed the broken branch and another small branch in the diseased section which was hanging over the garden and was potentially dangerous. The tree has now been made safe by a tree surgeon. We want to try to keep the Cherry tree, though it is very old but it is possible that other parts are also diseased. The tree surgeon recommends a crown reduction of between 2-3m to try to save it, if it is possible to do so. See photo of whole tree.
