During routine tree inspections two mature trees in Wychavon are going to be felled as they may be a danger to public safety.
A mature purple beech tree at the corner of the bowls club in Lido Park, Droitwich was found to be suffering from a dangerous fungal disease called Ustulina deusta, which attacks the very heart of the root system and makes the tree unstable.
The same inspection found a large chestnut tree near the public toilets in Abbey Park, Pershore to be suffering from honey fungus, another dangerous disease for trees. Lynn Stevens, Parks Officer said “We are very sad at having to do this work but public safety must come first. Recently people in a neighbouring district were badly injured after a diseased tree fell unexpectedly onto their car, so it is a priority to get our trees down as quickly and as safely as possible.
We believe that the combination of stress on the trees due to climate change and the conditions favouring fungal growth means that the tree stock all over the country is suffering losses.
We will certainly be looking to carry out new plantings in the parks with suitable species where possible.
