Proposal

T14 - Mature cherry tree - Fell to ground level. Extensive decay is evident within the base of the two north west facing stems along with associated cambial death that extends throughout their structures. The removal of the two north west facing stems would leave the tree unbalanced and at risk of further structural failure and ingress of decay. The tree leans towards the area where the cricket practice nets are placed when in use.
