  Monterey Cypress (T1) - fell. reasons for felling: - There are a high number of weak, included unions at the multiple, ascending secondary stems from approximately 4m in height. A number of the included unions are noted with marginal longitudinal cracks and high levels of bark bucking and detached bark. quoted from tree survey - The tree appears to have been historically exposed to storm damage and major tree works. quoted from tree survey - A number of the secondary stems are noted with long with long , linear columns of dead bark/wood sections. quoted from tree survey - A high number of ascending stems are noted with twisting and bulges which is likely due to increased exposure as a result of previous tree works. quoted from tree survey - Within the upper crown there are high levels of hung failed/part failed sub lateral branches. the majority of these branches are on the southern aspect of the crown. quoted from tree survey - Historically there appears to have been a significant stem removed. Approximately 0.5m of the stem remains, which is decayed and extending back into the main stem. quoted from survey - since the survey was conducted, in 2017, the tree has two stems which are starting to come away at the included union approximately three meters from the ground and there are obvious signs of cracking and severe movement between the 2 stems and the trunk. As recommended by the tree survey whole tree removal is considered to be the best option. The tree has since continued to rapidly decline.
