Tree Removal Nottingham |Storm damaged Lime tree, Wysall, Notts

This Small-leaved Lime tree was damaged in the high winds at the end of March, with one of its two main stems failing. This was due to an area of decay just above the main union of the stem, probably from an old pruning wound or where it had previously shed a branch. Luckily most of it had landed in the garden, although the council had had to clear the road on the day it went over. With the remaining tree now very unbalanced, and an increased risk of infection with such a large wound, it was agreed that the remaining tree was to be removed. As the location was within a Conservation Area, a new tree is to be planted in its place.
