Description

T1 Hybrid Weeping Willow; Main leader snapped out in high winds (see photograph) This raises concerns over its structural integrity as the wind dynamics has now changed within the canopy resulting in additional wind load .As some of the large limbs overhanging the entrance footpath to Lidl and as its a busy supermarket I think it's prudent to cut the remaining branches back to 1m from the stem to avoid a high risk situation every time high winds are forecast. TPO 220W. Data via plota.co.uk
