The tree had a large cavity in the upper crown and numerous Inonotus Hisbidus fungi brackets from within the crown. A climbing inspection was undertaken and the resistograph micro drill was used at 20 meters up to ascertain the extent of the decay. The tree officer was then happy with the evidence and agreed that this TPO’d tree should come down.
Over three days Matt, Sam and Graham took up the challenge of bringing this tree down to earth. Matt did a good job of dismantling it and Graham and Sam managed to keep up with the wood chipper. The pictures show Matt and Sam before doing the final felling cuts bringing the tree to the ground. The client won’t be short of firewood this winter!
