At time of inspection approximately half the crown has green leaves still attached, whilst the other half has completely shed leaves (i.e. abscised without colour change). No lesions evident, although clustered drooping form makes observation difficult. Large open cavity at approximately 3m at scaffold union. Deadwood removed (2020). - Reduce crown by approximately 1-2m, extent informed by aerial inspection.
