Tree Condition Reports:

A Tree Condition Report assesses the overall health, structure, and vitality of individual trees or groups of trees, often for landowners, developers, or local authorities. This type of report may be requested for planning applications, tree preservation orders (TPOs), or simply for routine maintenance purposes.

Key Elements:

Detailed Tree Inspection: Includes a thorough inspection of tree condition, examining factors such as leaf health, signs of pests and diseases, root condition, trunk integrity, and canopy structure.

Diagnosis of Issues: Identifies specific problems (e.g., fungal infections, root rot, decay, or pest infestations) that may impact the tree’s stability or vitality.

Tree Health Grading: Provides a grading system (e.g., good, fair, poor, or dead) to classify the condition of each tree.

Maintenance Recommendations: Offers recommendations on required tree work, such as pruning, removal of deadwood, or further diagnostic tests like decay detection or soil analysis.

Future Management Advice: Suggests ongoing tree care, including regular inspections or preventive treatments to maintain tree health.
