Sometimes trees just get too big for their surroundings. Around Norfolk we see this a lot in built up areas where a trees size has not been managed.
This magnificent horse chestnut had been pollarded historically then left to grow again. The customer decided due to its size, close proximity to buildings and the over hang onto neighbouring property it was best to completely remove.
It is always a balance in urban areas between trees & buildings. Getting some good planting advice is essential, not just for the trees health but to future proof its location. Thinking about what your little sapling will mature into and how it will impact on the immediate environment. Experienced tree surgeons can help manage the size of large canopy trees every few years with correct technical pruning.
Tree management on your property should be ongoing, it doesn’t need to cost a fortune and may just involve a quick check-up and some small limb removal – for peace of mind that you’re not storing a problem for a windy day!
