that tree looked sound as a pound.

[RPA]

Got to agree with Lee (on the reasoning, not the work done ).

 

Can’t tell too well from the pic. but looks like the growth form on the other Pop has been slightly affected by being next to the one felled. Therefore could there be knock on effects to the remaining trees from the change in environment?

 

Agree with Steve, nice looking setup

[skyhuck]

Ours is not to reason why.........................but to simply make trees die.

[John Hancock]

No way was that tree in the wrong place, quite the opposite imo, if i'd been head of arb that tree would have stayed! another case of councils giving in to public ignorance!

 

 

The tree had a lean , but going by the pic no root plate movement?

 

 

You did what you had to do, my comments are not at you or your team..

 

I totally understand what your saying, Its a shame to see established trees removed. These Poplars were planted by the developers when the estate was built. (It is all to common for developers to plant trees with no regard for species or position.) I do however stand by my comment that this was the wrong species, planted too close to the property.

 

Crown reduction was considered but rejected because of the re-growth associated the Poplars. (The tree is in a green open space and in a exposed position)

 

We shall replace the Pop, probably with a nice fastigiate Oak. John.

Theirs about 350m of well established conifer, about 25ft high and 18ft deep.

 

They need the conifer there as a visual barrier and a sound barrier.

 

They can't win, some residents want the screen because they don't want to see the factory, others complain the conifers block their veiw, others complained about the noise, others complain about the birds.

I looked at one last month, a new estate built about 12 years ago.

 

As part of the planning conditions each house had to have a tree.

 

This one house rung me to ask about removal of this certain tree because it was getting a little big.

 

It was 12 ft from the bay window and looking up the road I could see Hornbeam, silver birch, maple, some little acer Brilliantisimum.

 

This particular tree was a Black Poplar, which is probably the same as the one you felled John if I'm not mistaken. Can you imagine that in front of your bay window in a 12ft x 14ft front lawn.
