It's beside a minor road leading to a static caravan park. The potholes are so bad that cars go past at less than walking pace (I had to invent a new QTRA target value). I have recommended taking it down to 6m. There's a lot of woodpeckers in the area and it would be good habitat for them and smaller birds to feed on.

 

And seeing as you mention it, a question. It is reallly really goosed with K.deusta at the base, can't reallly tell what the Ganoderma is up to in isolation. I am a wee bit concerned abut it being top-heavy even if reduced toa  pole. Do you think there is any benefit in these situations of really really distressing the pole round the top to accelerate decay? I suspect the top will remain mostly sound and heavy long after the bottom is mush, and it could fall over onto the road in years to come. I'd rather keep it tall than go for a 3m pole.
