How to tackle this chestnut?

[jnoon]

Hi all been to view a job this morning

The tree is quite large 60/70 ft 3/4ft diameter ,

A main limb has failed in the crown and as it's fallen it's wiped out two more,

The picture should show the wounds,

How's best to tackle this now? I think possibly a reduction? How well do they take it?

I'm aware now that half if the tree is missing so it will be hard to make it look symmetrical again,

Customers keen to keep as much height and width as possible

Thanks

why dont i just leave it? what sort of reply is that? the weight is clearly unbalanced now an is favouring towards house, trampolin, sheds etc.

My comment was based on a two dimensional picture and the questions you asked regarding the tree. It is an option to consider. I have seen many an 'unbalanced' tree last for years and others that are perfectly balanced go over. Then again where houses are concerned then I get extra cautious as nothing is guaranteed.

Do you want me to come and have a look mate? I might be able to see it from a different angle.
