We were called out to inspect this mature oak in Ferndown after the owner discovered fungus at its base.
On closer inspection, we identified the fungus as Ganoderma. An application was submitted to the council, who described it as one of the worst cases they had seen in some time. Given the tree’s condition and its proximity to the building, it was agreed that it posed too great a risk to retain.
With less than a metre between the tree and the building, restricted access and branches overhanging the property, this was a challenging removal that required careful planning and controlled dismantling.
The BRW team did a fantastic job, safely bringing the tree down without any damage to the surrounding property. A job well done in a very tight space. 🌳
