This tree is very large for the small back garden. It drops leaves & acorns into the garden, onto the roof & residents below. The tree also has OPM present which is a huge inconvenience to the property owners as they are afraid to venture into the garden. 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.
