Oak x 1 - fell to ground level Reasons: dying and contemporarily hazardous The tree is to all intents and purposes functionally dead. It has no prospect of recovery and due to the compromised structural integrity of the scaffold branches, trunk and probably the root plate too, it is a contemporary hazard representing a risk of harm to persons and property within falling distance. The tree should be felled to ground level to remove the hazard and associated risk of harm preferably within the next six months.

196 Abbots Road Abbots Langley Hertfordshire WD5 0BP
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.
