Thanks all - thats really helpful and has enabled us to take a longer term view of the tree. decided to pollard now down to 5/6m and seal the cuts with Arbrex. This will give it a fighting chance and also give the adjacent Rowan some natural light of which it has been starved with growth now only on the sunny side. Really like the tree so want to save it even though the dropped leaves and catkins are a pain on the lawn over which it hangs

See piccies. Split has worsened overnight as the weight just pulls it down. About 3/4 of the crown has gone with this split bough and there are small splits in another major branch. I'm concerned about the prospect of damage to other branches in removing the split one as it is the very top of the crown. The adjacent pine tree which can be clearly seen in Picture 10 is normally not visible from that angle. Clearly we need to take off the damaged branch asap and hope it doesn't do any serious further damage on the way down . Question is therefore just tidy it up and let nature prevail or Pollard it next winter or take it out? Thanks in advance David

Well the weather this last few days has been tough on trees but my 35ft Crack Willow has taken a real pasting with a top bough ( 200mm thick) split over 2 metres and clearly needs to come off. Big shame is that it will remove about 25% of the canopy and leave the tree distinctly misshapen. So should I pollard it much lower, just clean up the damaged area or take it out altogether Thanks for any advice
