Unidentified fungi on south leader, branch collar, and main <br /> crotch of tree, and more at 4' above crotch, all up and clown. Dangerous limb, suspected root <br /> damage. Trunk is okay for now. <br /> imiyk cau.ea- The health of the tree has been degraded due to past pruning methods.e.g.flush cuts, <br /> imbalanced pruning including tip overloading, large mature limb removals, and tension wood <br /> scarring. Sidewalk repairs may have contributed to root injury and decay. Without root crown <br /> excavation and examination, we cannot determine the extent of damage and /or decay. <br /> bah Maim <br /> - Remove defective limb in key area. To improve the tree's health, nutrient health improvement <br /> Iemtlone- measures for the roots of the tree is recommended. Cabling, crown reduction, shaping and <br /> balancing and correctional pruning techniques are strongly recommended as soon as possible. <br /> latammatill The option of reducing and cabling can be used as a delaying tactic when managing old <br /> WI= Mehl bard <br /> decayed trees.Our recommendation for Minimum Invasive Hazard Treatments are 1) <br /> Cabling - -- This means structurally securing limbs, trunks, or scaffolds to other tree <br /> members for the purpose of stabilizing, holding together, and decreasing the potential for <br /> structural failure of the tree. On this project, we suggest the use of Cobra system cabling, <br /> (the most installed cabling system in Europe), because it is adjustable over time and can be <br /> reused. 2) Balancing & Shaping, 3) Crown Reduction, and 4) Corrective Pruning.
