Description
This is a Eucalyptus gunnii (Cider Gum). Since we purchased the house 6 years ago this tree has gone from standing vertical to leaning at an alarming angle. It's roots can also be seen to be lifting in strong winds. We would please like to ask permission to take this tree down. Data via plota.co.uk
