Advice on Mature Beech please

[Stephen Blair]

This Large mature Beech is coming into leaf and there are no funguses or other stresses around the trunk I can see yet all other Beech in the area are in full leaf.  Thoughts?  Thanks

Some trees are naturally lazy at getting up in the spring. See what it looks like in a months time.

But looking at the photos most of the other trees are behind fences, so it could be the first indication of compaction/ root damage.

Thanks guys, I’m thinking an air spade and mulch and fence off if compaction could be the cause, the old ruin is getting done up with a big extension towards the tree so it will become a garden tree and no more traffic on its roots.  I’ll pass the info on,  cheers
