As Big as it Gets!

This week we felled our largest tree to date. The 50 ton Copper Beech was approximately 150 years old and about as big as they come! 

The tree was suffering from giant polypore fungus. We had been monitoring the trees condition for the past 5 years and unfortunately due to its close proximity to the surrounding houses and its continual decline the decision was made to fell it. We did this with the help of a large crane. 

The picture shows the amazing view the Greg took from the top of the tree before it was felled. 

The plan is to replace the Copper Beech tree this winter with a new one.
