Zone Ref Tag No Species Structure Physiology Tree Defects / Issues Recommendations of works (*denotes preferred works) Risk Rating Work Priority
G1 Sycamore Good Good Group of self-seeded Sycamore causing direct damage to the security fence. Fell and treat stumps to prevent regrowth. Medium
T1 Sycamore Good Good Multi-stem (3) growing in close proximity to the security fence, with potential to cause direct damage in the future. Monitor triennially. Monitor
T2 Ash Fair Fair Previously pollarded Ash exhibiting early symptoms potentially consistent with Ash Dieback (ADB). Historic bark damage to the main stem (E @ 0.7m AGL), with good reaction growth (GRG) at the wound margins. Cavities with associated decay developing at previous pollard pruning sites, also exhibiting GRG. Monitor triennially, or sooner should the identified defects deteriorate or symptoms of suspected ADB progress. Monitor
T3 Beech Fair Good Previously pollarded Beech exhibiting small cavities at historic pruning sites, with good reaction growth (GRG). Included bark unions (IBU) with developing compression forks. Epicormic growth extending through the security fence. Monitor triennially, or sooner should the identified defects deteriorate. Monitor
T4 Elder Good Good Potential to cause direct damage to the security fence. Fell and treat stump to prevent regrowth. Low
G2 Incl. Elder, Hornbeam Good Good Potential to cause direct damage to the security fence. Fell Elder and treat stump to prevent regrowth. Prune remaining vegetation back to the fence line. Low
G3 Apple Fair Good Group of three young Apple trees exhibiting historic mechanical damage at the base of the main stems. Monitor triennially, or sooner should the condition of the trees deteriorate. Monitor
T5 Purple Plum Good Good Cavities with associated decay developing at historic pruning sites, exhibiting good reaction growth (GRG). Fungal fruiting bodies (FFB) identified as Cushion Bracket (Phellinus tuberculosus) on minor deadwood. Monitor triennially, or sooner should the identified defects deteriorate. Monitor
T6 Purple Plum Fair Good Multi-stem (4) with included bark union (IBU) at the main stem union. Monitor triennially, or following significant adverse weather events. Monitor
T7 Sorbus sp. (potentially Whitebeam) Decaying Dead Dead Sorbus exhibiting numerous fungal fruiting bodies (FFB) identified as Glistening Inkcap (Coprinellus micaceus) around the base. Situated in close proximity to the public highway. Fell. 9 Urgent
T8 Purple Plum Fair Fair Multi-stem (3) with included bark unions (IBU) at the main stem unions, with developing compression forks. Unidentified fungal fruiting bodies (FFB) observed at the base (E @ 0.05m AGL). Monitor triennially, or sooner if the condition of the tree deteriorates, and following significant adverse weather events. Monitor
T9 Lime Fair Good Multiple hanging deadwood branches throughout the crown. Lapsed pollard cycle. Remove hanging deadwood throughout the crown. Consider re-pollarding as part of future tree management. High
G4 Lime Fair Good Group of six mature Lime trees with a lapsed pollard cycle, exhibiting approximately 8–10 years of regrowth. The majority exhibit cavities with associated decay within the main stems, but demonstrate good reaction growth (GRG). Minor DW (<50mm). Reduce crowns to approximately 7–8m AGL, where practicable, to establish new pollard points slightly above the historic pollard positions. Consider phased reduction where appropriate and implement a cyclical pollard management regime thereafter. Medium
T10 Norway Maple Fair Good Multiple fused limbs within the lower crown, in close proximity to the main stem unions. Monitor triennially, and following significant adverse weather events. Monitor
T11 Whitebeam Fair Good Multi-stem (6) with included bark unions (IBU) at the main stem unions, with developing compression forks. Monitor triennially, and following significant adverse weather events. Monitor
