T1 Beech - Large wound at base of tree extending approximately 3m up the stem. The tree is not laying down reactionary wound wood / annual increments around the whole wound, particularly in the vertical direction, it is reasonable to conclude that the tree is not compartmentalising internal decay efficiently. This is a particular problem for beech whose defences are at best moderately effective. Fell for reasons of sound arboricultural practice.
