Tim. Risk st, Clydebank.

 

 

If ever there was an appropriate name for a street with a tree like that on it Risk Street sure fits the bill.

 

Funnily enough when I was trying to figure out where it was that little pocket of Clydebank did spring to mind.

 

Good luck with the job if you get it.

Like Gollum spotted, the driveway looks newish, so may have been a factor, roots damaged when it was laid? Compaction must be a factor in that location anyway.

 

Dr. Bolam's prescription would be about £400 worth of MS440 medication, to be taken in a single dose.

Ash tree in conservation area.

 

Tree has severe dieback on crown. It has a large lean and is very heavy one side with lean. I could not see any decay at base or on stem at all and i did not see any signs of disease / fungi after good inspection. ( there is fungi growing on dead branches about 40ft up ) It looks like it has slightly moved at base at wall has fresh crack in it.

 

If tree failed it would cause a lot of damage and pics don't do it justice for its size. costumer says it has died back hard over the last few years.

 

Any ideas why it has died back so hard ?

 

Id say when drive was one they may have severed lots of roots causing the tree problems
