Ash Tree

[4794hill]

Hi,

 

I live in the UK, this is an Ash tree with a non-tensile fork. I am not an arborist or have any knowledge in the subject, however I am concerned about the health of this tree as if it comes down, it will damage my house. Do I need to be concerned about the black stuff coming out of the tree please?

 

Thanks

Short answer is yes, get a local tree surgeon from a reputable firm to have a look. Can't be assessed from a photo.

Whereabouts are you in the UK?

Thanks for the reply. I am in Newport South Wales.

I live in Newport.  I am not an expert but I could recommend a couple of local people who would be able to give you competent advice.  I can PM you names if you like.

Clive Francis of Abergavenny is a good guy, you will find him on t’internet.  Or Ben Daniels also knows his stuff.  I would start with them, but I know more if you need them.
