Description

T001 -Fell Raywood Ash. The report states Reduce crown by approx. 2m however, due to recent poor pruning works carried out around the phone lines, there are no suitable growth points to facilitate a reduction. Tree has had historic limb failure in upper crown, poor pruning, and has been lion's tailed. Poor specimen with low amenity value. Removal is recommended due to poor historic pruning and the tree?s close proximity to the phone lines/pole. Remove to ground level and chemically treat the stump to help prevent regrowth.
