Bradfield College Bradfield Reading RG7 6AU
Proposal
T18 - Robinia pseudoacacia: Proposed Works - Fell. The tree exhibits a partially failed structure with a significant wound present on the main stem. There is evidence of scattered deadwood and canopy dieback, indicating declining vitality and compromised structural integrity. Robinia pseudoacacia is a species known to be relatively brittle, particularly where defects are present, increasing the likelihood of limb or stem failure. The tree overhangs the adjacent highway and footpath, presenting a heightened risk to vehicles and pedestrians. Given its condition, position, and limited long-term amenity value, retention is not considered appropriate. Removal is therefore proposed in the interests of public safety and sound arboricultural management.
