  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.

  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.
