    T1 - Sycamore - approximately 10 metres - Rear garden near seating area/pergola In the past few months the customer has had 2 other sycamores fail at the base within close proximity to the remaining sycamore. Every year the tree has had less leaf production and has considerable deadwood within the crown. I have recommended to bring the tree down to a height of approx 4 metres and leave as a pollard/monolith to prevent any chance of failure due to heavy crown weight. Future inspections will take place to see the trees progression and whether removal of the monolith will have to take place. Replanting will also be arranged.

    TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
