1 Claremont Grove Exeter EX2 4LY
The tree in question is a Robinia pseudoacacia, commonly called a False acacia, it is a non native tree from Eastern USA. The mature tree has codominant stems from approximately 2m above ground level and is located in the eastern aspect of the garden. We are proposing to remove this tree completely and therefore remove any risk this tree currently possesses. The tree show some significant signs of dieback in the crown, but more concerningly it has heavy visible decay in the centre of the trunk. A hammer/acoustic test showed a significant column of decay from ground level to approximately 5m above ground level. The decay is likely to extend to a height greater than 5m and throughout the heartwood. The main concern is that this tree is likely to be unstable and could fall causing risk of injury and significant damage to the surrounding structures and trees. The garden is currently undergoing improvements that will include significant additional planting whilst retaining all other architectural mature trees. A native yew hedge has already been planted that offers increased nesting habitat for birds, along with other wildlife benefits. The work will be carried out by a fully qualified, licensed company (Hi-Line) in an appropriate manner.
