Hyperion Underhill Road Torquay TQ2 6SL

Description

We want to remove the tree down to approximately 3m from ground level. After ongoing review its deemed necessary to dismantle and remove the tree due to its disease and no long term viability. T001 - Monterey Cypress - as in Hi-Lines report. 2021: The initial assessment noted a minor deterioration from the previous year, with the tree displaying sub-optimal vitality and crown density. This decline was accompanied by increasing levels of deadwood throughout the crown, with Old Mill Road identified as the primary high-occupancy target. 2023: Dysfunction within the crown had noticeably increased, with only approximately 50?60% of functional crown remaining. Infection by Seiridium cardinale was suspected. A large, upright, central primary limb, biased to the west, was confirmed dead and exhibited torsional splitting; this limb was somewhat sheltered by the remaining canopy. The increasing crown dysfunction was most visible over the driveway leading to Hyperion. 2025: The most recent inspection confirmed no significant change in the overall status or risk assessment of the tree. The dead primary limb was removed after the previous assessment as recommended. However, minor additional deterioration and the advancement of Seiridium cardinale symptoms were recorded, necessitating continued close monitoring. The long-term viability of this tree remains questionable and the requirement for its removal is highly likely.
