No problem, sorry if I misinterpreted your comments.

It might well be that the owners want the tree gone b4 the planning app. goes in, I don't know.

For certain reasons, I have not been privy to that info so cannot answer that question.

Yes, the tree is a beauty but like I said, it's coming down no matter what, so I decided to accept the job.

To me it looks like a possibly medieval pollard oak with recovered overgrowth over previous large branch stubs. Shame its not well recorded or protected....Most Ive seen don't recover & overgrow that well.

 

Shame if it goes , but sadly greed rules the world...

 

Anyone who just rings it up for firewood though is a fool to themselves... At least cut it in half to see what its like......first..

 

If its not hollow & rotted out, pics of it sawn in half would sell it. If its amazing you'll do well.

 

If not you've lost a little time & learnt a lot & seen inside that old beauty.

And it can still be firewood....

Fair do's fella, sounds like you're between a rock and a hard place! There could be options / alternatives but you're best placed to know what to do. Didn't mean to get your back up.

Well put mate.

I was interested in canopy pics because they can help in guessing what state the butt is in, pretty much as per Spirals post.

 

Does seem a shame, but if it was worth a TPO it should have had one.

The canopy is in great health...no dieback at all.

I shall do as spiral suggests and post pics if they are worth it.

And thanks for advise Spiral.

Does the butt have to leave site immediately? There should be some funky grain in there for sure.

 

Come on lads, anyone near Leeds with an Alaskan should surely be interested? I would be.
