Heavy Oak Reduction.

[Ben Ballard]

good to see you got your oak done john:001_smile:i remember that thread this oak needs your help

[John Hancock]

Yep, I’m glad it’s done as well. Granted it’s a little on the ‘hard’ side but considering the road, two footpaths, village green and 12 houses I think we’ve got it right. There wasn’t much to take it back to, we could have given it a tickle but to be honest I wasn’t willing to risk a nasty outcome, as its on a public open space so ultimately my responsibility.

 

I think some Arbs would have had it down, but at least we’ve given the old girl a fighting chance…

Funny you should say that! I have a truly magnificent Beech with Merip in a cemetery, targets galore! But such a wonderful tree!!
