Tara Trout Rise Loudwater Rickmansworth Hertfordshire WD3 4JY
We have a Robinia tree in our back garden that is too big for the space, and we are concerned that it will damage the retaining wall and encroach on the house. We would like to remove it and replace it with a tree that will not grow as large, such as a Japanese Dogwood.

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.
