  T1 - Mature Ash 'Fraxineus excelsior' - Dismantle, fell & remove to ground level Remove all cut material from site & return to a Teign Trees depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. Reasons for the proposed removal works; This is a mature Ash tree showing signs of ash dieback disease and its condition is likely to worsen over the summer months. Due to the tree position & further deterioration in the condition of the tree would make manual removal very difficult & potentially unsafe. The neighbouring trees are all showing signs of ash dieback, therefore we feel early removal is essential. Our client Mr Thompson is very keen to replant with X2 native English Oak Trees 'Quercus robur' in replacement. Both replacement trees will be of Heavy Standard size (12-14cm girth, 3.00-3.50 metres in height) & a full aftercare programme will be put in place to ensure the future health of the trees is maintained.
