The crown's not an issue altho absolutely everything has to be lowered since the ground underneath is full of rare and specialist plants, flowers etc (the tree is located in a trust owned public open garden - nightmare). The concrete can be seen in cavities close to major structural points - I will take photos and post. The owners reckon the concrete is holding the tree up; dunno about that but obviously knowing how far the flippin stuff has been poured in is vital so that the sections and thier weight properties can be managed. The drill probing sounds a good idea. Tx...

 

Oh and no, not a pollard. 5-6' dbh but not that high; 70' maybe.

Lol lol lol seem them stuffed with all sorts of crap bricks,cement and oversized rock ..... Stock up on files.

 

I did a job once just cutting up some windblown old limes that were semi hollowed though the cavities had filled with fine sandy particules turning to clay what a bitch of a job that was. Felt like I had a day of filing no fun trust me
