  T1 - silver lime (Tilia tomentosa) repollard to 3m where it has previously been pollarded to. The tree has recently has multiple primary branch failures leaving a very unbalanced crown. The tree is likely to fail again due to Ganoderma sp. bracket located on the main stem, near where the failures have happened but we would like to retain the tree and manage it by a repollard.
