Cheers chaps. Looks like it will have to go then..

The trees are still standing. One of them doesnt have fresh FB's but his neighbour does. They survived the Jan wind and the recent battering and according to the local TO they will be inspected every 6 months for any serious structural issues. As soon as the issues arrise then the tree(s) will be dealt with. As it is a district council site and we are county council we have to go through the TO who is all for monitoring trees despite the fact they are beyond knackered. Here are the latest FB's on the tree nearest the garage.

:confused1:What kind of structural issue is he expecting to see????????

 

The most likely one I can envisage is a tree flat on its back

Cracks in the crown or at the base. We had a poplar fail last year down to squamosus and that was sheltered by the beeches. They are the the tallest trees around and get hit from all sides. The trees have has kretz for about 10 years so how they can still monitor is beyond me. I suggested Picus testing or Resistograph but apparantly they are too expensive. But whats more expensive a Picus test or law suit for several crushed cars or a 15th century pub across the road.
