    I will check it out hun thanks :-))
    If it is beyond saving & the council says ok, they will probably ask you to replace the tree with another one (don't quote me!), I'm still getting my head around all of this (working in the planning area of council).

    I think it may have a little root rot DH and I had a closer inspection this evening. If its laying down you can actually see 2/3rds under the base and there is nothing there. We lost one earlier this year due to root rot. It struggled for a while then gave up the ghost so I ripped it out and it became kindling. The way this wind is going I doubt it will stand up to too much more of this weather. Hubby staked it better than I did but I don't think it will do any good, especially if my suspicions are confirmed!

    If you think it won't live let it be blown over. I know when we had to remove a tree at work we had to plant x number to make up one tree being removed. I know you want to replace it but if it falls over no one can report you for cutting up the tree.
