Description

This mature Beech has experienced a major structural failure associated with a defective co dominant union exhibiting included bark and evidence of long-term dysfunction. Given the history of failure, uncertainty regarding residual structural integrity and the severity of the potential consequences, removal of the tree represents the most appropriate and defensible management option. Recommendation: Remove canopy to monolith. Data via plota.co.uk
