Council sourceDescription: Oak tree - reduce crown top and sides of crown by up to 2 metres with pruning cuts. With limbs 1 & 2 by 5 - 6 metres as totally decayed from this point onwards, they are very long limbs. Limb 3 by 4 metres, these three limbs would be pollarded. We would also be taking out any other dead/decayed limbs throughout crown. Reason - There is decay in canopy and at ends of most of the limbs, also Lowest large limb 2 has a large crack running down it. Main point of concern is where on the base of the main trunk at the point the bracket fungus is growing, on tapping the tree you can hear that there is large void behind the bark in the main trunk itself. Due to decay in base of trunk and the amount of decay in the limbs, we are requesting to reduce the outer weight of the tree to stop future failure of the trunk and limbs.ALL,, Reason for work - , Works Approved? - , Approved Date - Compliance Status & Date - ,
