Large urban tree failure


Recommended Posts

During my London years i was always amazed how the planes were able to function let alone keep themselves rooted alongside so much concrete and tarmac as well as the constant flow of traffic etc...seeing their massive roots snaking out of the pavment and spilling into the roads over curbs and along the pavements as if they were asphixiated and gasping for air...

Yeah we pulled up as the contractors were about to grind the stump.

 

We had a good look, but couldn't determine for sure what it was.

There was Armillaria involved but not sure this was the primary agent for the failure.

 

The tree seems to have been privately owned and not the local authorities.

It was positioned fairly close the wall where the dysfunction appears to have been. May have been difficult to pick up.

 

Had been reduced a few years ago.

 

 

 

Did you get any significant failures during that Easter weekend wind?
