View council mapTurkey Oak - Given the size, reach and weight of the branch I feel that there is a significant likelihood that the branch will fail in the near future. Due to its proximity to the new property and the high foot fall directly underneath it I recommend that the limb be removed. This should also reduce the water ingress and slow the decline of the main trunk. There is a much smaller limb below it that would much improve the appearance of the tree if it was removed. Removing all the deadwood from the canopy. A crown reduction in the near future.
