Description

I need to advise Haringey council that we are going to fell this unsafe lime tree at the school which is within the Muswell hill conservation area. A large portion of the tree has already fallen to the ground and damaged a nearby garden shed. Only a 3.5m metre stem remains which we are going to fell to ground level. The stem itself is heavily decayed and presents a risk to the adjacent school grounds, therefore it needs to be removed. I have attached photos of the base of the fallen stem where the decay is visible and the remaining stem which is coated in vines and ivy.
