BIG Oak tree. How safe?

[treeseer]

That tree untouched is likely to still be standing, when all those reading this thread have passed away.

 

Then again, as a tree surgeon you could advise an overall crown reduction to reduce sail effect and risk of catastrophic failure close to a publically accessible place, draw up an intensive management schedule where the tree will need to be inspected via climbing annually, and eventually fell it in 5 or 6 years due to the, by then extra levels of caution imposed by insurance companies, training colleges and the media.

On a serious note, its amazing what a tree can do if its left to its own devices, especially oak.

So true. Perhaps get a good look in the sinuses around the base, and if no other signs of problems appear then avoid sounding any alarms. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be, let it be. (acknowledging Sir Paul--ok with you hama, or should I name the album too?) don't remove branches without a good reason.

 

Eiffel Tower/expanded buttress, nice.

Thank you David.

 

I agree with you about the proper assessment.

Nice one, thanks.

Let it be, let it be. Is Hama a beatles fan or am I missing a joke

 

Will give the customer the option. If they're worried about the tree, they can get an assessment done. I suppose the tree has been in that way for many years already.
