Proposal

T1 - Cherry tree, fell to stump level and grind the stump to below ground level.We carried out various works on this Cherry tree back in February, including the removal of a substantial amount of deadwood from the canopy - given the size of the tree. When working on the tree, it was clear that the tree is in decline. In addition to the substantial amount of dead wood within the canopy, the tree was also quite unstable compared to what it should be at this stage in it's life, and there was a bracket fungus at the base of the tree also.I told the owner of the tree about my findings, and that whilst the tree currently poses a very low risk, we would recommend removing the tree at some point in the future.
