Ash tree with dieback - whose responsibility?

[Mesterh]

I quite like the look of the snooker table hedge top, the sides look a bit dodgy but thats allowable. Maybe get some fertilizer/horse manure to the roots.

 

The ash dosetn look like its in particular bad health from those photos tbh. You always get bits of deadwood from ash.

You're right of course! 

 

I can't do anything towards it physically apart from pick up anything that drops off the trees. The trunks/stems that lean my way will probably need to be dismantled to prevent damage to my garage and fence. Those leaning toward the neighbour's field are less of a problem. I'm nearly 77 and buy firewood kiln dried these days but there could be a good supply of firewood there, and Ash splits nicely. 

There are Ash near me that looked like that a few years back . Some have almost completely recovered and some are dead as a Dodo . You never know but that one looks fairly good to me .

Hard to say from the photo, but you say its dropping 4" branches.

 

The small group that look directly over garage, dont look like they would do any damage, but photos can be decieving.

It might be worth going onto the Land Registry website where you can download a copy of the title plan for £7. 🙂

Thanks. This caused me to look back at the records from when we bought the house. There's a copy of the Land Registry document which clearly shows that the ditch, and therefore the tree, is outside our boundary. 

I'll still be treading gently but nothing is likely to happen this week.
