I have an Ash tree at the rear of my property on the corner boundary with my neighbours to the rear and side (it is the NE corner of my property) which clearly has dieback. I have had a tree surgeon assess it and confirm that it has dieback. It is next to another Ash which was clearly taken down to about 3m of trunk a number of years ago before we moved in.I will be using a tree surgeon to cut the whole thing down to as close to ground level as possible. The stump will be left in as it is directly adjacent to the fence.
