What would you do with this oak?

Hi guys,

Just had a look at this Oak.

Nice healthy crown but my customer is concerned with the amount of rot in the trunk & roots there has been signs of honey fungus & two trees close by failed because of it.

Reduce by 35%

Monolith

Fell

What do you think?

If it is leaning badly fell it. Leave it as a monolith if it doesn't matter where it falls eventually

Looks like a fell to me with that lean and that amount of decay

Fell. Wouldn't even bother with a monolith. Leave the stump though for habitat.

Bloody hell is that being held up by the fence?!

Fell, and if the customer is eco-sensitive leave either high stump or biggest possible length of stem laying on the ground, maybe even partly buried.

No Not on the fence & nowt to hit apart from the fence. Think I am going to leave a small monolith

If you find any solid timber in that Eddie,feel free to stack it up at my main yard.
