Emergency works at Bayfordbury Mansion this morning
We headed over to deal with a failed stem on this Corkscrew Willow, which had come down following extensive decay around the main union.
The fallen section was safely cut free, before we dismantled the remaining compromised stem down to a safer height to reduce the risk of further failure.
A good example of why significant decay in old pruning wounds and unions needs to be taken seriously.
