Oak tree on clay soil.

Recommended Posts

Following a Sonic tomograph survey I’m having an oak extensively pruned to relieve the load on the trunk which has moderate Ganoderma resinaceum fungus in the basal area.

Both the arborist and tree surgeon advise having a further Sonic tomograph inspection carried out after two years as the fungus may have spread, the tree becomes dangerous being close to the house and may need to be felled.

I read that if an oak on clay soil is removed it could cause heave due to re hydration of the ground. Is this the case?  The tree is 7 metres from the house.
