Proposal
Tree Preservation Order ESH:52 - The tree is exhibiting signs of both physical and physiological decline. I consider it likely that both are connected by a fungal pathogen or pathogens which are actively degrading both the tree's biomechanical structure and its vascular network. This is evident in the area of decayed wood and dysfunction visible at the base of the tree and in the dieback and poor foliar coverage in the crown. In my opinion, it is likely that the degradation of the wood at the base of the tree is now compromising the tree's ability to withstand wind loading. There are no treatment or pruning options likely to result in tree recovery due to the extent of dieback and the size and maturity of the tree. The dieback, poor foliar coverage, and lack of epicormic growth demonstrates low vitality within the tree and suggests that there is little opportunity for recovery at this late stage. As such I do not consider pruning to be a viable option to allow safe retention of the tree. Recommendations Fell tree.
