Application overview
T1; Oak - Fell to near ground level. Replant with one Common Oak.Reason: The tree is comprised of 2 main stems, the primary stem carrying the majority of the dominant crown is dead/moribund. The secondary stem leans at an angle with a significantly asymmetric crown, developed in conjunction with the primary stem. Retaining the secondary stem is not practicable due to exposure following the loss of the primary stem; aesthetic value is reduced to very low.
