Council sourceT1) Beech Tree Following inspection, the beech tree shows significant signs of decay. Thereâ??s a large fungal body at the base, likely Ganoderma which indicates advanced internal rot. The exposed dead wood on the trunk further suggests structural compromise. For safety reasons, I strongly recommend removal, as the tree may now be unstable. Works requested are for the Tree to be felled.
