Proposal

Apple tree The tree has not fruited for several years and is now wobbly and the bark is peeling off. It appears unstable. It is located in a garden where children play daily. I would like to remove the tree completely as it is unsafe. It has been assessed by a fruit tree expert (reported via video - too large to send via portal but happy to send on).
