Leylandii - I would like the tree to be cut down, as it appears to be rotting inside. The crown had 3 sections, one of which broke off in the storm, leaving the other 2 section vulnerable and likely to come down in the next storm. The first section narrowly missed me, when it came down whilst I was inspecting the garden. There are 2 adjacent leylandii which appear to be in good health.

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.
