37 Whidborne Avenue Torquay TQ1 2PG
Proposal
T2 - Fell to ground level and replace with Beech (Fagus sylvatica) T2 Elm has been subject to some severe pruning in the past and has since had a minimal amount of regrowth. A bracket is present at the base of T2 which has been identified as Rigidoporus ulmarius. With its history of creating vast cavities inside the buttress and targeting the root system, there is a serious worry for stability both now and in the future with the ongoing development of the fungi. T2 has very low amenity value in comparison to other trees in the area which are primarily Beech and Pine. A proposal for the replanting of a common beech would provide a much longer future of environmental benefits but also add to the amenity value of the area.
