  1. Hi all, The attached photos show a mature Beech tree with house 6m to the right (not shown). The tree displays a graft approx. 1m above the union. The two scaffold limbs are noticeably larger in diameter above the graft than below it. This suggests it is the graft point supporting the crown above. On inspection the graft point is showing signs of detachment failure on one side raising concerns of tree safety. The bark rippling indicates fibre buckling. The tree has landscape value and shoot vigour is good throughout. My thought is to install a dynamic brace to limit excess movement. However would affixed cable brace or threaded bolt installed just above the graft be an option. Opinions welcome. - Oli
