Proposal

Tree Code: Species: Tilia x europaea (Common Lime) Recommended Works: Sectional fell to approximately 1 metre above ground level, retaining the stump as a deadwood habitat. Reason for Removal: The tree is exhibiting significant structural decline and instability, including: Extensive basal cavity and decay affecting the stem base and root plate. Multiple large Ganoderma fruiting bodies around the tree circumference, indicating extensive internal decay. Evidence of root damage, root plate instability and potential root failure. Cracked, lifting and necrotic bark on both the stem and roots. Canker-like growth on a root buttress suggesting underlying dysfunctional tissue development. Crossing branches, a tight fork union and associated structural weaknesses. Surface root disruption and exposed roots. Epicormic growth within the crown, consistent with physiological stress. Given the extent of decay and evidence of structural failure, retention of the tree is no longer considered appropriate, and removal is recommended on safety grounds. Data via plota.co.uk
