We were called to inspect this tree in Saltburn by the sea. It was a really nice Macrocarpa, but unfortunately we spotted a serious problem with it. The smaller of the two stems had split away & was ready to fail completely. You can see from the picture (below) of the stump that it was on borrowed time.
Within a few days we had already notified the council & were on site. We strapped the two stems together and the team pulled a long day, carefully dismantling it a little piece at a time. No damage to the underlying structure and leaving the garden clean and tidy as always, of course.
With the tree extending so far over the gazebo we had to think & rig the branches carefully to avoid any damage.
This will keep someone nice and warm when seasoned and split.
The stump shows just how badly the tree was splitting!!
Tidy finish as always.
