Ash T1: For the past 2 years it has been showing increasing signs of Chalara - Ash Die Back. I wish to remove the tree completely before Chalara makes it unsafe.Oak T2: This tree is adjacent to a high voltage electric pole on the North side. Regular removal of branches encroaching on the apparatus on the pole, and the free growth on the South side, has left the tree weighted very heavily to the South and towards the road. I propose to remove one large extended lower limb and one smaller one with similar reach on the South side as indicated on attached photos and a very small amount of reduction by thinning of remaining branches on that side that would see the tree far more balanced and resilient. | Date Decided: 16/05/2022

Norway Spruce T610 - removal of the Norway Spruce and replacing with a better quality Nordmann Spruce.I have been monitoring it for at least 18 months as it started to show signs of change and deterioration. Many of the lower branches have suffered browning and have eventually died. These signs have also progressed to higher branches at least 40% up the overall height of the tree. Many of the dead branches have broken off in the recent strong winds. It looks like it possibly has a disease called Cytospora Canker. It grows very close to a far more dominant Lawson and the roots and branches of both trees connect. I am increasingly concerned that whatever the disease this Norway Spruce has, may spread to the far more valuable Lawson which now also has some lower branches with browning and die back. | Date Decided: 16/05/2022
