Date

November, 2024

Location

Lincolnshire

Our nations ash trees are plagued by Ash Dieback (ADB). This fungal disease weakens the trees., which can cause whole tree failure or sudden limb loss Maintaining ash trees on our roads is essential to keep road users safe.
In this case a landowner appointed us to reduce three dangerous roadside ash trees.

The finished monolith. A dangerous tree removed and a valuable habitat created.

Closer inspection show the tell tale signs of dieback, including fungal growth

To do the work safely all ground workers wore hi-vis clothing and signage was erected before and after the site to alert motorists.

Once we started cutting the extent of the decay was evident. This is why it is essential to use qualified tree surgeons.

A skilled arborist can assess a tree and make cuts that will not only improve the safety of the tree but also benefit its longevity.

Before pollarding this tree was shedding a lot of rotten branches onto the road.

Due to advance decay and proximity to the road we pollarded this tree.
