Description

The removal of the epicormic growth from ground level to approximately 3 metres up the trunk around the base of the lime tree. The purpose of these works is to allow a clear inspection of the trunk base and root flare area as part of our ongoing tree health assessment and to check for any signs of decay, fungal activity, or structural defects.
