Ash tree as identified as T1 on the attached Sketch Plan. Request to remove tree. Reason: The tree has two codominant stems joined at the base. There is evidence of significant decay at the top of the southern most stem as seen in Pic 2. We believe that this decay may extend to the base of the tree. A sounding hammer has been used at the base of the southernmost stem and a significant cavity is suspected although external signs were not identified. The previously adjacent Ash tree within a few metres proximity failed at the base and fell within a recent storm (24/10/23). The particular tree was discovered to have significant heartwood decay which hadn`t previously been identified. The structural failure of the tree caused damage to both the clients and neighbouring property. Naturally the client is concerned over the structural defect of this remaining Ash tree.
