Big fallen Poplar with TPO - Advice wanted

[jackdaw]

Hi All.

 

Woke up this morning to a big Poplar that, was standing at the rear of our garden, to one that is now 3/4 down and hung up into next doors rear scrub boundary.

 

With it having a TPO, am I best off leaving well alone until I've sought advice from the LPA ? First TPO I've had any experience of.

 

It's not in a dangerous state, & I've spoken to the neighbour to make them aware.

 

Thanks, JD

Lots of photos and get it gone. It’ll keep living and the tpo will still be valid!

Dont think that compost pile will have done it any favours   K

Interesting!

 

The path you take should be influenced by the outcome you desire most.  Worth having a good think about that before setting about a course of action.

If it poses no threat then take your time and inform the LA. 
 

what was the cause do you think?  & has it affected the other tree in the picture?

 

 

oh and nice positive posting Kris - don’t you have a rusting Landy to crawl under?

Pops fall over a lot.

Agreed Mick - they are the botanical version of sheep & spend there lives thinking up of creative ways to die 😆

Don't see how the compost harmed it?

 

Probably made if grow more

It's been on the lean since we moved in, but stable until now. Previous owner had it looked at by a pro who apparently gave it the ok. Last night it obviously decided it fancied a lie down. I was woken up at 3am to the sound of wood splintering, very weird experience.
