I recently compiled an Arboricultural Assessment Report to be submitted to City of Ryde Council. Sydney. A resident living in the Council area submitted a Tree Inspection Application form to Council requesting removal of one large Eucalyptus racemosa (Narrow Leafed Scribbly gum) located in close proximity to his home. The owner of the tree has concerns relating to its large size and its potential to shed branches that may damage his home. To date the tree has only lost two small branches.
The Council rejected the application and suggested he get an expert opinion from a Consultant Arborist who is to compile a comprehensive report on the health and structural integrity of the tree.
Analysis of the tree and its growing environment showed the tree is in good health. The tree is causing damge to the owners built landscape around the tree and in the my opinion has outgrown its available growing environment. The report submitted to Council recommended removal of the tree because of its potential to cause further damage to the landscape.
It will be interesting to see what the Council's decision will be given the information contained in the report..
