Proposal

T2 Beech Tree - Fell tree. Root plate not showing signs of disturbance. Surface roots present around the tree. Stem inspection has found a small fungal fruiting body of Kretzschmaria deusta just above ground level on the West side. Stem has historical pruning wounds with good occlusion. Stem has a black exudation from a previous wound and rusty looking deposits from previous exudations. The crown has been reduced in the past. Cavities in base and stem are likely from the fungal fruiting body and hollow sounds from a sounding hammer I heard. Fungus: Kretzschmaria deusta (Brittle Cinder)
