The branch on the tree outside my house, #62, is dead and likely to fall off soon. It is fairly large and could be a danger to the parents and children that drop off and pick up at the school 3 doors away. Thank you

    Apologies, but as I was cutting back the basal growth on the tree outside my neighbour's at 64 (I couldn't see down the road clearly when pulling off my drive) she pointed out a dead branch on that tree as well. Both trees need to be assessed and pruned accordingly. thanks

  • We have asked the tree surgeons to attend both trees. For future reference, and s per the instructions on FMS, please log each issue separately, so we can assure each issue is attended. Thank you for pruning the basal growth on the trees, we appreciate any small pruning of branch tips or epicormic growth when undertaken with due precaution. Watering newly planted/ young trees especially during the current heat wave conditions makes all the difference as well.
