Large beech tree with lots of faults, the main 1 being kretzschmaria at the base, the tree is down to be removed anyway but what is the potential life span given the extent of the kretzch? Could the removal of the large Limb being a contributing factor in introducing this to the tree?

Apparently the limb was removed about 8 years ago, its around the base too not just on the face of the old cut.

 

Yes it's visible at the base in the pic, not unexpected. The question is the potential for the lateral spread of the decay. CODIT happens, even with K.d.

 

Assessing suspected faults is half the job; inspecting signs of strength is equally important. :thumbup1:
