Dismantle of a multi stem beech tree at Edington which was in decline

We recently felled a multi-stem 20m high beech tree opposite The Three Daggers pub in Edington  .The tree was right by the road and was showing signs of dying back. Its position made it unsafe to remain. We were pleased to receive this testimonial from our client:

“Your guys have just felled a large beech tree adjacent to our drive. I wanted to let you know what a good job they did.

The notice said the road would be closed for 2 days but they completed the job in less than 6 hours; very impressive kit, very efficient and helpful. All cleared up tidily, and they left me a gift of logs for firewood.
I was very impressed. Richard”

Treatment of oak trees for Oak Processionary Moth control

Forestry Commission guidance is that oak trees within 50m of an infestation removed in 2023 should be treated to control any larvae that have hatched this spring. Treatment is undertaken once the leaves have emerged and provided the larvae with food. 2 treatments, 10 days apart, are undertaken with a naturally- occurring bacteria. This does not affect other wildlife.

Caterpillars of the oak processionary moth (OPM) are a pest which can be a hazard to the health of oak trees, people and animals in this area.
