An inspection of the tree and information about its history has revealed that the paving is about 30 years old; there is a
possibility that periodic application of a herbicide did take place and that
the French drain had been diverted with the modernisation of kitchens and
bathrooms.
“Pruning and the aesthetics of the tree above ground is one
aspect of its recovery,” says Charles, “but the overall health of the tree
depends on the health of its roots.” His and his client’s decision will thus be
how to introduce a deep, possibly slow system of drip watering, to bring the
oak back to its former state of good health.
