Following major limb failure in May 2024, the tree shall be subject to a reduction of its entire periphery by 1.5 to 2 metres alleviating the risk posed by subsiding branches over the footpath and attempting to stimulate growth within the lower crown. The production of epicormic growth at the base of tree and lower stem(s) should not be the subject of pruning or removal as their development as an asset is essential for the future management of the tree.
