Address:
Gossips Tree Cottage West Street Fontmell Magna
Description:
T1- Willow - Fell due to failure of two large limbs onto public road and now a largely unbalanced crown of tree. Cracking noises were heard coming from the elbow area once we had cleared up the fallen limbs and believed to be due to the stress caused to the tree from the two limbs failing and the unbalanced crown. There are also a few rot pockets from previous pruning cuts. Due to its location near the public road and the owners house it is felt be a safety issue. The owner has also had issues with the roots from the Willow tree affecting the septic tanks and drains. The owner would replant a tree in its place.
