●1m crown reduction on a mature Asiatic Apple tree🍒.
●One dead Cherry Plum felled due to excessive decay and instability.
●Sensitive reduction on a Laburnum 🌿.
●Heavy reduction carried out on a mature apple tree 🌳🍏
The presence of Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail fungus) 🦃🍄 prompted a formal assessment of the tree’s overall condition. This identified included bark unions of major limbs, extensive decay and cavities within major branches and dieback within the crown.
As a result, a significant canopy reduction was undertaken to reduce end-weight on compromised limbs. This approach helps lower the risk of branch failure and gives the tree a better chance of retention long-term.
