Description
TPO1(1973) T2 - 25ft Oak tree to reduce to 12ft - the tree has previously been damaged (struck by lightning we assume) - its been reduced in the past but is now showing big holes in the base and into the roots. 50% of the stem has no bark and very decayed. It appears that only 2 of the 5 or 6 root flares are intact, leading me to think the roots aren't not strong enough for this size of a tree. We are planning to leave the stem at 12ft as a monolith so if it were to fall it would only fall into the garden and not damage the neighbours fence or shed TPO1(1973) T2
