Fell two pines (retrospective works). The work was completed on 4th Jan 2023 under the 5 days notice DD rule. T1 Scots Pine Height - 17m DBH - 500mm Crown spread - 7m Work required - Fell to ground level Reason : It was noticed in the summer of 2022 that the trees declined rapidly. The foliage failed with the year and no green foliage remain. The timber is dry and showing no signs of sap. No human interference had occurred to the trees or their surroundings. My understanding is that the recent dry summers have put a lot of stress on the trees and unfortunately for the two in the group they succumb.
