Proposal
T1 Ash - Fell. The Ash has a considerable amount of bracket fungus (Inonotus hispidus) resulting in extensive decay in the scaffold limbs and main trunk. There are also several large dead limbs. The tree is located in a small garden over a public footpath adjacent overhead electrical wires and high voltage transformer. We propose to plant a Silver Birch in as close a location as possible
