Beech tree removal – Bishopstrow hotel
November 5th, 2009
The rooting area (Rhizosphere) had been compacted by its use as a carpark. This resulted in the die back of the crown over a number of years. The dead wood was decaying and had become very brittle. The tree was removed over 2 days.
The branches were lowered on ropes.
At the end of day one just the main stem remained.
Day 2. The stem was felled onto a bed of timber and cut up.
The main stem and branch wood were moved and staked on site using a tractor with a trailer and crane.
The staff from the hotel counting the rings on the tree and John the hotel groundsman dealing with the last of the sawdust.
