Large urban tree failure

[arbwork]

odd to see such a total and catastrophic failure as that! shame to have lost such a significant tree

Says in our news here in Ireland, the tree was diseased and undergoing preservation works. Looks damned brittle the way the limbs have fractured off with little tearing.

Would be interested to know what the “fungal activity around the base of the tree” was.

 

Tree surgeon who inspected the tree in November 2016 recommended removal.

Wondering what the time line and priority was.

Meer speculation, but could this have been an incident that would have been avoided if railtrack had been a more helpful neighbour..?  I have know knowledge of the case..

The owners of the tree are a firm of solicitors, according to the article.

 

Which will be handy.

Solicitors. By the time they've done it will the car owners fault.
