    1883 - Ash Tree: Shown on map. Seems to be in decline potentially Ash Die Back but too early to diagnose. Western sides seems to be in recreation with lots of large dead wood throughout canopy. Eastern side is strongest with strongest limb but is very weighted towards that one limbs side. Application to remove deadwood down to 3 cm in circumference, due to regression on Western side, reduce canopy on eastern side by 20% to balance tree as limb has heavy lean towards residential home. Happy to meet on site assessed by myself Town Council qualified tree surveyor.
