Branches have been breaking out and there is a lot of dead wood present & falling onto the neighbouring road as well as into the garden. The tree has a large cavity 2 meters up the main stem from a branch snapping out in the past. Ideally the home owner would like this tree removed & replaced with a more suitable tree.
