Proposal

Proposed works to T1 is a semi-mature Ash standing to a height of approx 14-16m and partially overhanging the neighbouring property. Would like to to crown reduce by around 3-4m overall to the height of the previous pruning work to limit the weight and length of the limbs that form the canopy and reduce the risk of early failure. It has beennoted that the fungal fruiting bodies have been appearing progressively further down the stem each year, suggesting that the tree is not successfully compartmentalising the decay. The work wouldaim to retain the tree while managing the risk due to the presence of the fungal mycelium.
