Proposal

T1 Sycamore (acer pseudoplatanus) - fell to ground level. T1 is in serious decline and is subject to honey fungus (Armillaria mellea); showing clear signs of dieback throughout the canopy, decomposing wood around the base of the tree with the strong 'black bootlace veins' significantly present under the bark of the main stem and flares. T1 is approximately 18-20metre in height and is well within striking distance of the property but also neighbouring properties, garages and parked cars. Customer is very worried and is happy to replant something in its place.
