Three trees of concern

[Two Acres]

Hi all,

 

My Mum and Dad have three trees in their garden that are of possible concern. Tree number one is a Scots thats about sixty feet tall. Its only around fifteen feet from the house and around ten from a power cable. Its very straight and in good health. Would its size and position concern you? Tree number two is a a Whitebeam around twenty five feet tall, thats leaning towards the house, its about fifteen fet from the house. It was straight until about a year ago went it leant over a little - is it a concern? Tree number three is a Cherry, again about twenty five feet tall, it has an area of rot in the trunk - I can push my finger into it to about half an inch depth. Its standing straight but the leaves are looking limp. I can get some photos bit thoguht I'd ask a general question before I go too far.

 

Cheers

I wouldn't call putting some photos up going too far.

 

Post 'em and let's have a look.

first impression - the whitebeam sounds well dodgy

pine prob ok.

whitebeam - next time it's windy, stand under it and see if there's any root plate heave.

cherry very often terminal once the disease/rot has set in.

If it was straight and now its leaning - its moved - it could go at the root plate or if the roots have mostly rotted, the trunk fails at ground level.
