Fell it ASAP. Not liking the tight union and failure waiting to happen. May flatten a few cars

saw one of these the other day that had failed

not much root on the half that went over

Hi Hama,

Hispidus at that level, although I have seen it at 2m.

I probably should have added these.

1. School premises lots of little targets.

2. Over lifted approx 7m.

3. Many historic pruning wounds, with what looks like associated canker, prob hispidus.

This was a cursory glance, I,d been called to look at a different tree.

I,ll go back on wed. and do a proper survey.

Cheers.

I must be missing something. Why do you point the finger at Hispidus, hama? I cant see any bracket in the pics.

no i was just "hazarding" a guess at what was to follow after the title and whoops that didnt come out as it supposed to!

I was expecting it!

 

 

as for the immediate fell proposals, the tree has been reduced in the past and taken a lot of pressure of this not so bad looking union, similar repeat would be fine IMO. ash do tend to fuse better than most.

Hi,

Usual things, targets, enhanced duty of care and do I want to spend scarce resources and tie myself in to a cyclical maintenance regime?

Oh yes there is also about 2000 hectares of ASNW directly behind.

Have a good day.
