Hi all,
Not quite bushcraft I know, but I would like some assistance from any arborists out there!
My mums house in a Manchester suburb has a lovely old oak tree in the front garden, 90 ish years old.
The tree is the middle is the one. The other day a guy from the council came around and said it was diseased and hollow inside, which I didn't believe. However I live 50 miles away and wasn't able to assist. So, over the past few days they've taken it down piece by piece.
Today the guy from the council has admitted that they've stuffed up, and basically left the tree in a stuffed-up pollarded state that looks an eyesore.
So, after they've done all of the damage they've admitted they got it wrong - personally now we want them to finish and remove the rest of it, but they're saying that they'll get in trouble (!!!) if they remove what is a "healthy" tree?
Can anyone offer any advice on what to do next please?
Many Thanks,
Morrolan
