    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.
